INTRODUCTION 

Having published, several years ago, a genealogy of his father's family, the 
author began the collection of material for a similar work on his mother's line, 
descendants of Thomas Sayre, one of the founders of Southampton, Long Island. 
He met with some difficulties he had not experienced in his former task. All 
the persons he heard of bearing the name of Banta were descendants (or wives 
of such descendants) of Epke Jacobse, the Frisian immigrant of 1659; whereas 
the name of Sayre, in its various spellings, has been common in England for at 
least seven centuries, and other persons of that name besides our Thomas were 
among the early settlers of New England and the South, and have been found 
among the immigrants, not only from England, but from Ireland and Germany, 
to the present time. It will readily be seen, therefore, that large numbers of those 
in this country who bear the name of Sayre, Sayres, Sayer, Sayers, etc., would not 
be included within the scope of this work. 

Again, while the Bantas, for nearly a century and a half at least, were gen- 
erally connected with the Dutch churches of New Netherland and vicinity, the 
records of whose marriages and baptisms have been, with rare exceptions, pre- 
served, so that it was possible to get [quite complete data as to families from the 
beginning, the Sayres were mostly in Congregational or Presbyterian churches 
in Suffolk and Orange counties, N. Y., and Essex, Salem, Cumberland and 
Cape May counties, N. J., where scarcely any marriage or baptismal registers 
are extant prior to the nineteenth century. Curiously enough, too, very few 
family Bibles have been discovered containing records so much sought after. 
This will explain, therefore, why, in the earlier generations mentioned in this 
book, the maiden names of wives, and dates of marriage, birth and death, are so 
frequently missing. From wills and deeds the first names of wives have some- 
times been gleaned. 

The Spelling of the Name. 

As is well known, in early times there was no uniformity in the spelling of 
many ordinary words, and it was to be expected that in the spelling of proper 
names great diversities would be found. The name of the family forming 
the subject of this book has had only the ordinary experience of other cogno- 
mens in this regard. In the first official document we have discovered referring 
to this family, being a tax-list for Poddington, Bedfordshire, England, the ancient 

v 



vi Introduction 

home of the family, under date of 1332 occur the names of William, John and 
Galfro Seyer. In Harvey's History, referred to on page 2, the form of Sayer ap- 
pears in 1327, Sayr in 1430, and Seyre in 1545. In the will of the first positively 
identified ancestor, William, dated 1562, the name appears as Sayer, Seyer and 
Seyre. A grandson of this William Sayre, who, we learn, had been educated, 
drew up and witnessed his cousin's will, as stated on page 5 ; and in this his 
signature appears in a " very good hand," William Sayre. It may not be gener- 
ally known that the word " cousin " at that period included other degrees of 
relationship, such as nephews and grandnephews, and in the particular instance 
cited on page 5, William Sayre was a nephew or grandnephew of Edmund 
Squire, who called him his cousin. 

The families who remained on Long Island and those who went to New Jersey 
have usually retained the spelling Sayre, while those who removed to Orange 
County, N. Y., about the middle of the eighteenth century, commonly adopted 
Sayer. One family removed from Southampton to Middletown, Conn., many 
descendants of whom spell their name Sears. Other forms have been adopted, 
such as Sayr, Sayrs, Sayers, Sayres, etc., and apparently for no assignable reason. 
Two brothers sometimes have spelled their names differently. For example, 
Anthony, on page 215, spelled his name Sayre, as did his father. His brother 
Matthias, page 212, signed himself as Sayres. Curiously enough, the latter 
left two sons, the descendants of one of whom use the form Sayres, and of the 
other, Sayre. In another case a father, whose signature is Sayr, has children who 
add the final " e." 

Assistance Rendered. 

The " History of Southampton," by Mr. George R. Howell, a Sayre descen- 
dant (page 160), contains a dozen pages or more of genealogies of the Sayre 
family, and these have been of very great value in laying the foundation for this 
work. Mr. Samuel P. May, of Newton, Mass., published in 1890 a genealogy of 
the Sears family ; and in the collection of matter therefor he accumulated consid- 
erable material relating to the Sayres, which he generously placed at the disposal 
of the present writer. In addition, he has been unstinted in his services in the 
way of suggestion and information, and the compiler of these records gratefully 
acknowledges his indebtedness to the uniform courtesy and invaluable assistance 
of Mr. May. 

Of course, in a work of this character the great bulk of the material, other 
than that derived from public or official documents, must be contributed by the 
various members of the families who may be interested in it, and the labor of the 
author has largely been that of a compiler. He would express his warm appre- 
ciation of the services of the many who have helped him, sometimes by the ex- 
penditure of much labor and trouble, in collecting and contributing records of 
their own families. 

There are others who have not only furnished information as to their own 
immediate families, but have been unsparing in their efforts to collect material 



Introduction vii 

from a wider circle; and to these he would express especial thanks. Among 
these he feels it due to mention Mrs. Laura Jones, of Newark, N. J., who has 
thoroughly gleaned the field of Essex County, N.J.; Miss Elizabeth Burt, of 
Warwick, N. Y., who has been very efficient in collecting information from the 
Orange County, N. Y., families; and Mr. Edward A. Sayre, of St. Mary's, West 
Virginia, who has aided materially in enrolling in their proper places many of 
the mighty army of Sayres in that State and in Ohio. 

Howell's " History of Southampton " publishes the following in regard to the 
coat of arms of Thomas Sayre. Traditions as to family arms are not usually of 
much value as authority. 




" The arms of the Sayre family are, as handed down by family tradition : 
" Gules, a chevron ermine between three sea-gulls argent. 
" Crest : A cubit arm erect proper holding a dragon's head erased argent. 
"Motto : Saie and doe." 

Sayre Soldiers. 

The Sayres have borne their part in all the wars in which the country has 
been engaged. A list is here given of all whom we have been able to identify. 
It is doubtless by no means complete, especially in regard to the Civil War, as 
the main source of information relating thereto has been from correspondents,, 
and the questions bearing on the subject may not always have been noted and 
answered. The war with Spain and that in the Philippine Islands have been too 
recent to permit of obtaining any account of participants therein, except in 
two or three cases.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, 

July Term, 1832. 

The State of Ohio ) 

> ss. 
Butler County ) 

On this 4th day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun- 
dred and thirty-two personally appeared before the Honorable the Judges of the 
Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Butler of the State of Ohio, 
PIERSON SAYRE, aged about seventy years, a resident of the town of Ham- 
ilton in the County of Butler aforesaid, who, being first duly sworn according to 
law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the 
benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832. 

That in October, 1777, he was called out to serve in the militia of New Jersey 
for one month. He was engaged in guarding the line at Elizabethtown under 
the command of Lt. Squires. Deponent states that the militia companies of New 
Jersey were divided into classes who served alternately on monthly tours. From 
the time deponent was first called out he served monthly tours every other month 
for two years, after which until the close of the war he served on different tours, 
sometimes two months, never less than one month on a tour. Deponent states 
that he served in all during the whole war between 'two and three years. 

About the first of June, 1778, (as deponent believes) he was called out to 
serve in Capt. Lane's company in the Regt. commanded by Col. Jaquish. On 
this tour he was called out six weeks during which time he was in two engage- 
ments with the British, one at Connecticut Farms, then in two weeks afterwards 
at Springfield, New Jersey. In the latter engagement Gen. Knyphausen, a 
British officer, was killed. Deponent mounted guard at different times at Eliza- 
bethtown which was the headquarters of the militia. He also mounted guard at 
Trimbley's Point, Old Point, New Point, Newark and Hackensack. At some of 
these places he mounted guard two months and at none less than one month. 
At the time the British lay on Staten Island deponent went in a command with 
some regulars under General Sterling to the Island and drove the British from 
their fort. The Americans soon left it. 

Deponent knew Generals Wines and Hurd, to whose Brigade he belonged ; 
he knew Cols. Jaquish, Ludlow, Crane, and Smith, Captains Lane, Wood, Winans,

Introduction 



Craig, and Major Crane, under all of whom deponent served. He was frequently 
engaged in skirmishes with the British and Tories. He cannot state the dates of 
the different tours he served, having never kept any regular or written account. 

Deponent was born in Essex County, N. J., Sept. 12, 1761; he has a written 
record of his age. He knows of no living witnesses by whom, from their own 
knowledge, he can prove his services. He is well known to John Sutherland, 
James Boal, James McBride, and others, by whom he can prove that he sustains 
a good character for truth and veracity ; that he is reputed and believed in the 
town and county where he resides to have been a soldier of the Revolution. 

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except 
the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency 
of any State. 

He has lived in Butler County, Ohio, twenty-three years.

Descendants of the Pioneers. 

This volume contains the names of descendants of Thomas Sayre, of South- 
ampton, to the number of nearly twelve thousand. Of course, there have been 
many thousand others of whom no account has reached the compiler. As a 
matter of curiosity, the following table has been prepared, showing the number 
recorded in each generation of the descendants of the four sons of the original 
founder.

ERRATA AND ADDENDA. 

On pages 584, 585, and 586 appear the families of James Sayre (1404!), 
Rachel Sayre (1404J), and Hannah Evans Sayre (1404k) under the heading, 
"Line of William, 6 Thomas, 5 David, 4 David, 3 Daniel. 2 " This is an error. It 
should be " Line of James, 6 James, 5 David, 4 David, 3 Daniel, 2 " as will be noted by 
reference to page 253. 

The wife of James 5 Sayre (119) on page 97 was probably Elizabeth or 
Rebecca Moore, daughter of Richard Moore. 

On page 93 it is stated that Stephen Sayre lived in New York in 1784. The 
Chamber of Commerce was reincorporated April 3, 1784. His name appears 
as one of the forty petitioners for the incorporation and as one of the original 
thirty-six members of the chamber.

CHAPTER I. 

English Ancestry. 

As will be seen later on, in the account of the founding of Southampton, Long 
Island, Job Sayre, in his examination by the Dutch magistrates at New Amster- 
dam in 1640, stated that he was born at " Bretfordshire," and was twenty-eight 
years of age. This gave us a clue as to the locality where our Sayre ancestry was 
to be sought, directing us to Bedfordshire and to a Job Sayre born about 1612, 
with a brother Thomas. As a result of extended researches conducted by several 
experienced English genealogists, we have been enabled to trace the direct line of 
Thomas Sayre, our Emigrant Ancestor, for three previous generations in England, 
and to show that "the old yeoman family of Sayre " were in Bedfordshire at least 
seven or eight hundred years ago. It is commonly supposed to be of Norman 
origin. 

The earliest mention of the family from which our Thomas Sayre sprang is in 
a Subsidy Roll or Royal Grant of the time of Edward II. From an official docu- 
ment we quote this explanation of what the " Subsidy Rolls " consist of: 

Information from Subsidy Rolls. 

Subsidy Rolls. As many of these rolls contain the names of the persons 
assessed towards the payment of each subsidy, they are extremely valuable in the 
compilation of pedigrees, showing at once the precise hundred and township in 
which the family lived at the time of the assessment, and also to a certain extent 
their rank and position, which maybe deduced from the amount paid. The most 
valuable assessments for materials of this nature are the Grants of 23 Edward I, 
and of the 1st and 6th years of Edward III, and the Poll Taxes of 51 Edward 
III, and the 2d and 4th years of Richard II. From the latter date to 14 Henry 
VIII, the rolls, with few exceptions, supply no names, but from 14 Henry VIII 
to the reign of Charles II, the lists of names are numerous and complete, espe- 
cially in the Hearth Tax Rolls of the latter reign. 

The first of these rolls in which Poddington (the earliest known residence of 
our Sayres) is mentioned is that of 3 Edward II (8 July, 1309-7 July, 1310). It 
contains twenty-three names, and among them is " Willo Seyer, 2 s - tax," the total 
amount for the whole list being ^£io 13 s - io^ d - 

The next is dated 6 Edward III (25 Jan., 133^, to 24 Jan., 133!), and is a grant

to the King of " a fifteenth and a tenth." Poddington was but a small place, and 
yet forty-eight of the inhabitants were named, among whom were three Sayres. 
These names, with amount of tax, were : 



William Seyer 2 s- 2 

John Seyer 1 



Galfro Seyer 1 2 d - 

Note. — Galfro = Golfrido = Geoffrey — an old English name.

Harvey's " History and Antiquities of the Hundred of Willey,in the County of 
Bedford, England" (4-to, London, 1872-8), is a scarce work. The extracts here 
given were made by a correspondent in England from the copy in the British 
Museum, and verified from a copy in the possession of Rufus King, Esq., of 
Yonkers — the only one we have found in this country. 

Page 382. Refers to " the old yeoman family of Sayer." 

Page 389. Refers in the text to "Sir Percie's lande" mentioned in the will 
of Thomas Sayre of Poddington, yeoman (30th May, 1581), which gives rise to 
Note 1, as follows: 

The name (Sayre, Sayer, etc.) occurs as far back as 13 16, when William 
Sayer was a landholder in H in wick. In the ancient account of land in Hmwick 
from the pen of John Orlebas Esq., we also meet with the names of the following 
members of this family : 

Roger Sayer, 1327. 

In 1430, Joan Parker or Packer of Sharnbrook grants to John Sayr of Pod- 
dington the elder and William Hennet, clerk, rector of Newynton, tenements in 
Hinwick called Dehuus. 

In 143 1, John Sayr, the elder, of Podington, to John Sayr, the younger, his 
son, of the same place, reversion of a tenement and sixty acres of land in Hin- 
wick, and tenement lying between the land of the prioress of Harewold [Harrold] 
on the one side and the King's highway on the other. Witnesses, John Tymest, 
vie. of Podington, Nicholas Dikon, Adam Gausye, of Hinwick, and others. 

1477, Simon Sayer, son of John Sayer, late of Hinwick, deceased (and others), 
to Agnes, his wife, daughter of John Pyrt of Lavendon. His father's lands. 
Witnesses, John Sayer, John Payn, and others. 

1545. John Faldd [Faldo], of Sutton, Beds, yeoman, to William Seyre, of 
Hinwick, with warrant of attorney to Daniel Payne and Edmund Squyre, of 
Podington, to deliver seisin.

1553. 6 July, Peter Grey, of Chilington, Beds, to William Sare, of Hinwick, 
yeoman, two closes and two acres in Hinwick, then in the tenure of the said 
William, and formerly belonging to the priory of Harewold, lately dissolved, with 
warrant of attorney to David Payne, gent. 

1562. Aug. 1, William Seyre, the elder, of Hinwick, to Edmund Squyre and 
William Abbot, of the same place, husbandmen, all his lands, &c, late of John 
Faldo, of Sutton, and of the dissolved priory of Harewold, to reconvey the same 
to the use of the said William Seyre and Alice hjs wife for their lives ; remainder 
to William Seyre, their son and heir apparent, remainder to Thomas, another son 
of the said William and Alice ; remainder to the right heirs of William and Alice. 

[A. D. 1616.J 18th and 20th June, 14 James I, William Sayer, of Hinwick, 
and William Olyver, of Thenford, Northants, yeoman, executed, on the days 
named respectively, deeds of gift. (Intended marriage of Anthony, son and heir 
of the said William Sayer, with Elizabeth Olyver, daughter and coheir of William 
Olyver. Sayer made over a moiety of his goods and chattels to his son, and 
Olyver one third of his possessions to his daughter. Richard Childe was a 
witness.) 

In 1621, depositions of William Sayer, of Hinwick, yeoman, and many others, 
were taken at Bedford. A copy of their statements is in the muniment chest at 
Hinwick House.

life Dec. 27, 1732, aged 73. 

" A constant comer to y e house of God, 
Lived and dy'd a good Christian."

family. (This refers to entries in the parish register of Poddington, which are 
extant only from 1662.) 

The earliest will we have found of any Sayre of Bedfordshire is that of 
William Sayre, of Sharnbrook, dated 22 d Dec, 1519. We have no evidence that 
he was an ancestor of our Thomas Sayre, of Southampton, N. Y., but it is pos- 
sible that he was an uncle of William Sayre " the elder," with whom our known 
English ancestry of Thomas Sayre begins. As this will of 1519 was executed 
before the Reformation, and is quite curious, it is given in full, with all the 
curiosities of spelling.

citations from Harvey's "History"; of Alice, his wife; and of Thomas, their son, from

The wills of William Abbot, the elder, dated 1582, and of Edmond Squire, dated 
1593, the witnesses named above, were written by as well as witnessed by William 
Sayre, styled the cousin of the latter, and the signature appears, in a "very good 
hand," William Sayre, which we assume settles the correct spelling of the family 
name.

From a passage in the last-cited will it would appear that Thomas's brother 
William had made a will. Unfortunately, it has not yet been brought to light, 
though diligent search has been made in every office where it was deemed proba- 
ble it had been probated. 

Podington, the residence of William Sayre, as stated in his will, is thus de- 
scribed in Lysons's "Magna Britannia," Vol. I, p. 125 : 

Pudington, or Podington, in the hundred of Willey and deanery of Clopham 
and diocese of Lincoln, lies on the borders of Northamptonshire, thirteen miles 
northwest of Bedford, about five miles from Higham Ferrers, and about sixty- 
three miles from London. King Henry III in 1227 granted the manor of Pud- 
ington to Isolda de Dover, till such time as he should think fit to restore it to the 
house of Reginald Damastin, Earl of Boloigne, whose property it had formerly 
been; in which case he promised to grant her an equivalent. The manor was 
afterwards successively in the Grays of Ruthin and in the Bromfletes. In the 
reign of King Henry VIII, being vested in the crown, it was annexed to the 
honor of Ampthill. In 1557 it was granted to George Bredyman. In King 
James' reign it was in the family of Payne, from whom it passed by an heir 
female to that of Child. The seat of the ancient manor house, which appears to 
have been a castellated mansion, is occupied by a farm. 

Before the Conquest it was held by Levenot, a thane of King Edward, and in 
Domesday by Hugh Flandrensis. 

In 1782, Rev. Oliver St. John Cooper, then vicar of Podington, compiled a 
short account of the place, which forms a part of No. VIII of the " Bibliotheca 
Topographica Britannica," published in 1783, a copy of which was found in the 
Public Library of Boston, Mass., and from which we quote: 




CHURCH AT PODDINGTON, BEDFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND 

Home of the Sayre Family from as early as at least the 13th Century.

The modern name is Puddington; on some of the communion plate it is Poud- 
ington ; 17 Edward II, 12 Richard II, Podington, and often so spelt at this day 
[1782]. In Domesday it is called Podintone. Haneuwich=: Hinwich is also men- 
tioned in Domesday. It is a hamlet half a mile from Puddington, and is mentioned 
in the Will of William Sayre as the place of his residence. Sharnbrook the resi- 
dence of William Sayre (will 15 19), is $2 mi les S. W. of Puddington, and Harold, 
hereafter mentioned as the residence of a Sayre, is 4 miles from Puddington. 

In 1778 there were 21 houses in Hinwich, with a population of 116. There 
were only eight freeholders then in the hamlet. 

In Puddington at that date there were 51 houses with 305 inhabitants. 
Labourers were paid one shilling a day, including one mess of milk in the morn- 
ing, and as much beer and as often during the day as they pleased. Land was 
worth twelve shillings an acre and Cottages rented for thirty shillings. 

The Vicar of Puddington was hanged at Woburn by Henry VIII, together 
with the Abbot of the Convent, for " withstanding the measures of the King." 

The number of" dissenters" in 1782 did not exceed six or eight, and they had 
no meeting house.

Podington, or Puddington, St. Mary. This church consists of a nave and 
aisle, a chancel, and a west tower, and is chiefly Early English. In the chancel 
is a good moulded Early English piscina, and the chancel-arch springs from 
chamfered corbels. In the north wall are four sepulchral arches now blocked up 
with mural monuments to the memory of the Childs and Paynes. The nave- 
aisles are on round piers of Transition-Norman character, moulded with zigzag 
lines, those on the north differing from those on the south. The font is circular 
Norman, covered with a zigzag moulding, and is engraved in Lysons; there is an 
Early English north doorway, a south doorway and porch, Perpendicular, and a 
Decorated western tower, with modern buttresses and a good crocketed octagonal 
spire. A view of the church is engraved by Lysons; and another in the Collec- 
tions towards a History of Bedfordshire, containing an account of the parish and 
of Luton and Dunstable. 4to, 1782. — H. A. and H. K. B. [in the "Introduc- 
tion"]. The monumental brasses [of the county] are numerous. Poddington 
possesses specimens, nearly all of interest. 

Our line of known direct ancestry therefore begins with William Sayre, of 
Hinwich, parish of Podington, in the hundred of Willey and in the county of Bed- 
ford. His wife was Alice Squyre. He died in 1564, his will being dated 1562 and 
proved 1564. The will of his widow was dated April 20, 1567, and proved June 
2d of the same year.

The marriage of Francis Sayre and Elizabeth Atkins is recorded in the parish 
register of Leighton Buzzard, November 15, 1591. The records of this place 
begin in 1562, and continue till 1615, when there is a break until 1640. A care- 
ful search of these records was made for the birth of Francis Sayre and of his 
wife, Elizabeth Atkins, but neither was found recorded. Francis was probably 
born at Podington, the records of which do not begin until 1602. 



Leighton Buzzard. 

From Lysons's " Magna Britannia," Vol. I, p. 103, we take the following 
description of Leighton Buzzard, the birthplace of Thomas Sayre, the Emigrant 
Ancestor : 

Leighton Buzzard, in the hundred of Manshead and deanery of Dunstaple, is 
a market town on the river Ouse on the borders of Buckinghamshire, forty-one 
miles from London [and about thirty miles south of Hinwich, the old-time home 
of the Sayres]. It is supposed to have been the Lygianburgh of the Saxon 
Chronicles, which was taken from the Britons by Cushwulph in 571. It has been 
conjectured that the addition of Bussard or Buzzard is a corruption of Beaudesert, 
which name indeed occurs in some old papers, but in the most ancient records the 
name of the town is written Leighton-Bosard, and sometimes Busard or Buzzard. 
The family of Bosard or Bossard, from which it seems to have derived its additional 
name, were of consequence in the county, and knights of the shire in the reign of 
Edward II and Edward III. The market, which is on Tuesdays, is one of the 
most ancient in the county; the tolls were valued at seven pounds per annum at 
the time of the Norman Survey (Domesday). In the market-place is a beautiful 
Gothic cross of a Perpendicular form, with figures of kings, etc. The number of 
houses in Leighton parish (exclusive of the hamlets), according to the returns 
made to parliament in 1801, was 376; that of inhabitants, 1963. 

King Henry II granted a manor in Leighton to the abbess and Cistercian 
nuns of Font-Everard in Normandy, who established a cell of foreign monks in 
this parish at a place called Grovesbury, the prior of which was procurator-gen- 
eral for the concerns of the abbey of Font-Everard in England. In 1316 this 
manor was held under the abbess by Mary, the king's sister, who was a nun of 
Ambresbury. 




CHURCH AT LEIGHTON BUZZARD, BEDFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND 

Where Thomas Sayre, the Founder, was Baptized in 1597 and 
where his Parents were Married in 1591. 



English A ncestry 1 1 

In 141 1 the abbess of Font-Everard had the king's license to alienate the 
manor of Grovesbury to John Worship. In 1413 it was purchased by Sir John 
Phelip, who settled it upon his wife Alice, a granddaughter of the poet Chaucer, 
and their joint heirs. It seems to have been seized by the crown on the death of 
her third husband, William Duke of Suffolk, for in 1472 it was granted for life to 
the duchess as a compensation in part for a debt due to her by the crown. 

At the entrance of the town is an almshouse for eight poor widows, founded 
by Matthew Wilkes in 1630. Their allowance is three shillings a week each, 
besides firing and clothes. The Hon. Mrs. Leigh, about the year 1790, built a 
house for the Sunday schools, to which she subscribed twenty pounds per annum. 

In the centre of the market-place is a pentagonal cross, which has long at- 
tracted the attention of archaeologists. 

The market-cross is a well-known and elegant structure in the Perpendicular 
style, with flat four-centred arches below, and figures under ogee canopies, and 
terminates by a crocketed spire. Rickman describes it as " Perpendicular of 
good composition, but its details and execution are not equal to the design." 
There are engravings of the cross in " The Beauties of England and Wales," Vol. 
I ; Britton's " Architectural Antiquities," Vol. I, p. 80. 

In the "Gentleman's Magazine" for 1 801, Vol. LXXI, p. 321, reference is 
made to the cross as follows : 

Whether the conformity of its grotesque ornaments with those in the parish 
church is any proof that the two structures are coeval must be left to better judges. 

In the same magazine for October, 1851, p. 418, is an account of a joint 
meeting at Leighton Buzzard of the Architectural and Archaeological Societies of 
Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, at which it was proposed to repair " the 
ancient cross of Leighton Buzzard — with figures of kings, &c," as represented in 
Farrington's illustrations to Lysons's " Britannia." A picture of this cross appears 
in the present book. 

In "Church Bells" for August 19, 1892, is a description of the church in 
which our Thomas Sayre's parents were married and in which he was baptized, 
which we transcribe. It was accompanied by a full-page illustration, but we have 
had prepared another view, taken from an original photograph. 



All Saints' Church, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. 

This fine cruciform church is a familiar object to travellers on the London 
and North-Western Railway. The tower is of the Early English period, and the 
massive spire, 193 feet high, is probably of only a little later date; both were 
originally built upon severe designs, but have been modified by subsequent altera- 
tions and insertions. The tower is built of a cretaceous limestone, and the spire, 
the condition of which is surprisingly unimpaired, probably of an oolitic limestone. 
The chancel is also in great part of Early English date ; the transepts (fourteenth 
century) have Perpendicular windows. The nave is surmounted by a remarkably 
fine Perpendicular clerestory, the large and beautiful three-light windows of which 
are arranged in couplets. In the interior, the elaborately carved Perpendicular 
roof of the nave, of unusually high pitch for the style, is very fine. The ancient 
ig d the series of stalls, with fntserere seats, in the chancel are remarkable. 



1 2 English A ncestry 

The most superficial observer could scarcely take a circuit of this fine old church 
without being struck by the iron scroll-work which decorates the west door. It 
consists of two hinges, eight feet by four feet ten inches, covering the door. 
The handle is in the shape of a skeleton hand, and is alluded to by Parker, in 
his book on Gothic Architecture, as a good specimen of the iron-work of the 
period. 

The font consists of a massive bowl, supported upon a bold central and four 
plain smaller columns, the capitals of which run up to the level of the top of the 
bowl ; the water-holding mouldings of the bases of these columns indicate unmis- 
takably that the font is of Early English date. The metal plug bears the date 
of 1630. An ancient wooden lectern, the base of which is of the thirteenth cen- 
tury date, in the form of an eagle with wings spread, well carved, is popularly 
supposed to represent a buzzard, in allusion to the name of the town ; but the 
unusually pronounced aquiline beak confutes this view, to say nothing of the 
probability that the word ' Buzzard ' (formerly spelt ' Bussard ') is ifimply a cor- 
ruption of' Beau Desert.' 

The church is said to have been built by St. Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln, who 
founded a prebendal stall, or rectory, the first incumbent being Nicholas Hyam. 
The church was finished in 1288, and in that year was consecrated by Oliver 
Sutton, then Bishop of Lincoln, and a legend in connexion with the carved eagle 
and the consecration is that, while the ceremony was proceeding, ' the Bishop was 
much annoyed by an arch-enemy in the form of a large bird hovering about him ; 
he cursed it, and it fell down, a broken, battered thing.' A red cedar pulpit, 
beautifully constructed after the fashion of the time, and presented, nearly 230 
years ago, by the founder of the Wilkes' Almshouses, has up to the present time 
stood in the chancel, but is now placed in the nave. The figures of one panel at 
the back represent the Sacrament of Baptism — the putting off of the old, and the 
assumption of the new, life. 

The church was judiciously restored by Messrs. Bodley & Garner in 1886, the 
old galleries and pews were removed, and the church made free and open. Dur- 
ing the progress of the work several very interesting discoveries were made. In 
the transepts were found the remains of two altars of the Perpendicular period, 
and a stone string-course of the Decorated period running round the walls of both 
transepts. The remains of the coloured battlemented reredos have been carefully 
restored, and an oak altar table added, which is now used for week-day Celebra- 
tions. Six stained-glass windows, including the west window, have been inserted. 
They are from the studio of Mr. Kempe. 

The Rev. J. W. Richards has been vicar of the parish since April, 1862, during 
which time over 12,000/. has been spent in Church work. 

Francis Sayre was a mercer, or " silkman," as he is denominated in the tax- 
roll of 1609-10. The following names are taken from the "Lay Subsidy 
Rolls " for the years and localities mentioned, and include Francis Sayre, some of 
his sons, and others who were doubtless near kin. The William Sayre, called "an 
Assessor" at Podington, was probably the William Sayre (brother of Francis) who 
drew up and witnessed the will of Edmund Squire at Podington in 1592, and whose 
signature thereto, " in a fair hand," would apparently fix the correct spelling of 
the name at that date. In the will of Edmund Squire, William Sayre is called his 
" cousin," a word used at that period to describe a nephew or other kinsman, and 
not restricted as at present.

We know nothing further concerning Francis Sayre except that he continued 
to reside at Leighton Buzzard and died intestate in 1645, his widow Elizabeth 
being appointed administratrix of his estate in April of that year, as appears 
from the record in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Administration Act Book 
A. D. 1645, folio 39 : Mense Aprilis Anno Dm 1645. 

Decimo quinto die Emanat Coiiio Elizabethe Seyre Relce Franci Sayre nup 
de Leighton Bussord in Com Bedford defunct Mentis &c Ad Admin st bona Iura

The expression "hentis &c" shows that the intestate possessed personal estate 
to the value of ^5 or upwards in more than one ecclesiastical jurisdiction, so as 
to let in that of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. 

The baptismal records of Leighton Buzzard give the names of children ot 
Francis Sayre and Elizabeth Atkins as they appear in the following list. The 
record is in Latin, as were all church records of the time. There is a break in 
the records from 161 5 to 1640; one other child was born, at least, Mary, who 
married in London, June 8, 1639, Edward Tynge, merchant, who was a man of 
note later in Boston and Dunstable. Mass.

It will be observed from the above that in the register the child baptized on 
January 13, 16^, is called Johannes. The law at that period required a transcript 
of all marriage and baptismal records to be made and sent to the archdeacon at 
Bedford. In this transcript the name is very plainly Job, showing that an error 
exists in the Leighton Buzzard record. A copy of a baptismal item from this 
transcript is here given: 

Job Seare Alius francisci Seare de laighton . . . [slightly imperfect through 
damp] tercio die Januarij Anno dni 1610 [i6 TT ]. 

Minister ibm Antoinus Slater Gard. eccTie ibm [" Gard." = gardiani, i. e. church- 
wardens]. Edwardus Wilkes, 

Richus Toppinge, 
Bernardus Backwell. 
(Translation: Job Seare, son of Francis Seare, of Leighton . . . 3 January, 
1610.) 

Our English investigator writes on this point as follows : 

The present register at Leighton is not the original. The handwriting is so 
entirely uniform during a long series of years that it is not possible the entries can 
have been made at the time. And the hand is not that of any incumbent, but of 
a scribe, as is patent on its face. It is evident that the copyist misread in the 
document before him " Job " for " Joh," the common abbreviation for Johannes, 
and wrote the latter name. 

The transcript had to be sent in yearly, and was made from the original, so that 
we are fully justified in relying upon it rather than upon the copy which exists in 
the parish. 

The incumbent and churchwardens were required to sign the transcript, which, 
produced from the proper custody, is legal evidence in Her Majesty's courts of 
law. 

The importance of the discovery of the error in the register in the name of 
the child baptized January 13, 16-^, will be seen later on in the examination 
of Job Sayre before the Dutch magistrate in New Amsterdam in 1640, for it was 
through the record of this baptism that we were enabled to identify positively the 
Southampton, Long Island, Sayres with their English ancestors. 



The Southampton Founder 1 5 



CHAPTER II. 

The Southampton Founder. 

One of the traditions current among some of the Sayres was that Thomas 
Sayre, our first Emigrant Ancestor, had been employed in the mint before sailing 
for America. To verify this, if possible, an examination was made, as will appear 
from the following report, showing undoubtedly that there was no foundation for 
the tradition. 

It probably was based upon the supposed origin of the name from " assayer." 

Report as to the Researches Amongst the Records of the Mint. 

It is probable that, in matters genealogical, recourse is not often had to the 
records of the Mint. It appears desirable, therefore, to enter somewhat into 
detail as to the work done in this respect. 

The practice of declaring accounts before the Lord High Treasurer of England, 
or before the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and two or more of the other Com- 
missioners of the Treasury, appears to have been introduced about the reign of 
Henry VIII, and to have been fully established in that of Elizabeth. 

Two copies of each account were prepared in the Audit Office, to which, after 
various formalities, one copy was returned. 

An abstract of every account was entered on the Memoranda Rolls, under the 
heading " States and Views of Public Accounts." 

An exhaustive Inventory of the Declared Accounts of the Audit Office has 
quite recently been prepared and arranged under suitable headings, such as 
Alienation Office; Army, Navy and Ordnance; Butlerage (Pincerna Regis); 
Customs' (Collectors); Custos Sigilli; and so forth, one being " Mint." 

The Declared Accounts of the Mint were the records first examined, as being 
the most likely to furnish what was desired. 

The result of the examination of them and of other records is appended, the 
official reference being noted in each case.

1 6 The Southampton Founder 

Thomas Sayre, son of Francis and Elizabeth Atkins Sayre, our first Emigrant 
Ancestor, was born in Leighton Buzzard in 1597, baptized July 20, 1597, and 
probably continued to reside there until he was nearly forty years of age. Pre- 
sumably he married there, and his children, some or all, were doubtless born 
there. Owing to loss of the parish registers, however, we have no information 
which might have been gathered therefrom. The first record we have of him 
after that of his birth is at Lynn, Mass., in 1638, but how long he had been a 
resident there, or whether he came directly thither from England, we have no 
means of determining. 

Lynn was settled in 1629. In 1638 the committee appointed to divide the 
lands completed their work, and a book was provided in which were recorded the 
names of the proprietors with the number of acres allotted to each. This book is 
lost, but the first three pages have been preserved, and on the first page appear 
the names of Thomas Sayre, sixty acres, and Job Sayre, sixty acres. 

From Lynn six colonies had been sent out prior to 1640 to make settlements 
elsewhere. In the preceding year another colony undertook to make a settlement 
on Long Island. They invited Mr. Abraham Pierson of Boston, to become their 
minister, who, with seven of the emigrants, entered into a church covenant before 
they left Lynn. The eight " undertakers," as they were called, purchased a sloop 
for the transportation of their families and goods for ^80, Thomas and Job 
Sayre each contributing ^5 as his share. Before sailing the proprietors dis- 
posed of their interest in the vessel to David Howe in consideration of his making 
three trips annually for two years for the transportation of their goods from Lynn 
to the place of their settlement. Articles of agreement dated March 10, i6f#, 
were drawn up and signed. A copy will be found in Howell's "History of 
Southampton." 

Following is a transcript of the deed to the colonists for the land on the east 
end of Long Island, which has been found and sent us from England. A curious 
circumstance about this is that while it is dated 12th June, 1639, it refers to the 
colonists " being drove off by the Dutch from the Place where they were by me 
Planted," which appears to have been done in May, 1640. In Howell's "History 
of Southampton " these deeds are given, taken from the town records and from 
records at Albany, and attention is called to the " manifest error" in the date.

(State Papers — Colonial; Vol. IX, No. 34.) 

The following account is largely taken from Howell's " History of South- 
ampton, N. Y.," and is based on the records published in N. Y. Col. Doc. II, 
pp. 144-15°- 

The next we hear of the Lynn " undertakers" was on the 10th of May, 1640, 
at Manhasset at the head of Cow Bay, (or Sellout's Bay, as the Dutch called it). 
Here they found the arms of the Prince of Orange erected upon a tree, and 
Lieut. Howe, the leader of the expedition, pulled them down. But the Sachem 
Pewhawitz, who had just before ceded all his rights to the Dutch, promptly in- 
formed Gov. Kieft that " some foreign strollers " had arrived at Schout's Bay, 
where they were felling trees and building houses, and had " even hewn down 
the arms of their High Mightinesses.'' 

Commissary Van Curler (Corlaer) was sent to ascertain the facts, and the 
Sachem's story was found to be true. 

The arms of the State had been torn down, and in their place " had been 
drawn an unhandsome face, all which appears strange to us, being a criminal 
offence against his Majesty, and tending to the disparagement of their High 
Mightinesses." 

May 13. The Council of New Amsterdam ordered Cornelius Van Tienhoven 
to arrest and bring before them the " strollers and vagabonds " of Schout's Bay, 
who had so insulted their Dutch dignities. 

On the next day, with two officers and twenty men, he started on his mission 
of ejectment, and arrived at the clearing May 15, finding one small house built 
and another unfinished. 

" They were first asked what they were doing there, and by what power or 
whose authority they presumed to settle on our purchased soil, and told them 
they must show their commission." 

Eight men, one woman and a little child made answer that they intended to 
plant there, and were authorized thereto by a Scotchman who had gone with 
their commission to Red Hill.

Secondly, they were asked " for what reason did they throw down their High 
Mightinesses arms, and set up a fool's face in the stead ? " to which some an- 
swered, " the escutcheon was cut down by a person who is not present; " another 
answered, " such was done in their presence by a Scotchman, James Farrett, and 
he and Lieut. Howe were then at Red Hill." 

Hereupon six men, namely, John Farrington, William Harcher, Philip Kert- 
land, Nathaniel Kertland, Job Sayre and George Wells, were brought to Fort 
Amsterdam, leaving two men and a woman and a child on the ground to take 
care of their guns. They arrived on the 15th of May. 

At the subsequent examination the following facts appeared: they went to 
Long Island to settle, from Lynn, Mass., and others were to follow. They came 
under authority of James Farrett, with consent of Gov. Winthrop of Massachu- 
setts Bay Colony. It was intended to bring twenty families, and many more 
would come if the land was good. 

They should have lived free, under their own laws, and would have been 
obedient to whomsoever was lord of their land. 

Job Sayre, on examination, said he was " born in Bretfordshire ] " [Bedford- 
shire : he was examined through a Dutch interpreter]; was "twenty-eight years 
old"; and "had resided in Lynn, Mass." 

As the name of Thomas Sayre does not appear as one of the six arrested, he 
was perhaps one of the two men left at Sellout's Bay to look after the woman and 
child and care for the property. 

On May 19 those arrested were discharged "on condition that they promise 
to deport forthwith from our territory, and never to return without the Directors' 
express consent." 

Accordingly, the little colony sailed through Long Island Sound, and around 
the eastern point of the Island, to Peconic Bay, landing at what is now called 
North Sea, a little hamlet about three miles from the village of Southampton, 
whence they took up their march through the woods to find a place for their 
new homes. 

The first attempt at a settlement here was in a place now called the " Old 
Town," about three quarters of a mile from the main street of the present village. 
Here they remained about eight years. 

In 1648 Thomas Sayre built the house on the town lot apportioned him in that 
year; which is undoubtedly the oldest English house on Long Island, or in the 
state of New York. 

It is still habitable, and has never passed out of the hands or occupancy of 
the family, until in 1892, upon the death of Mrs. Sarah (Sayre) Larry, it fell to 
her heirs, and was sold to settle her estate. It now belongs to her son, Capt. 
Larry. It stands on the west side of the main street, north of the academy, 
cornerwise to the road, a rod or so back from the fence, surrounded by rose bushes 
and fragrant shrubbery, and shaded by tall trees which are young in comparison 
to the age of the house. The great chimney, the narrow windows, the massive 
frame, are all as they were; and the endurance of the old mansion is not yet half 
tested. The original roof, no doubt, was thatched, as were those of the church, 
parsonage and jail, built about the same time. And a village ordinance required 
that a permanent ladder reach from the chimney to the ground, as a precaution 
against fire. 

At first all houses were built facing exactly southward, and so tenaciously was 
this custom adhered to, that in one case, it is said, a dwelling was placed rear end 
to the street, in order that its front door should face the equator. 

1 As there was a possibility that this might have been Hertfordshire in the original and an error made in copying, 
advantage was taken by the author, during a visit to The Hague, to examine the original document in the royal 
archives, through the courtesy of our American minister, and the name was found to be as above stated. 



20 The Southampton Founder 

Job's Lane, or the Academy Lane, was originally a portion of Thomas Sayre's 
homestead, and was given to the town as a thoroughfare by his son Job. 

Since this description was written several small houses have been put up on 
Main Street in front of the "old Sayre house," and a fine Public Library has been 
erected on Job's Lane so that the house is not now visible from the streets. This 
venerable relic is now neglected and efforts should be made to purchase it by the 
town and preserve it as an historical monument. 



Thomas Sayre was a prominent man among the founders, as appears from the 
following extract from the town records: 

October 10, 1649: at a General Court he was one of three men chosen "to 
agitate town business, and they are to have the same authority that the five men 
had the last year." This is the first record extant of the choice of town rulers, 
and he may have held office earlier. 

October 6, 1651, he was one of the five men chosen "for governing of town 
affairs" — "to act and order all town affairs whatsoever excepting matters of 
admitting of inhabitants or giving of lands." 

October 6, 1654, he was chosen one of three "Townsmen." 

March 6, 1657, he was chosen at a town meeting as one of six men " to act 
and conclude concerning a difference concerning land which east Hampton men 
make within our bounds." 

At a court, May 2, 1657, he was one of seven men chosen " to have the man- 
aging of the present affair of the town concerning the safety thereof and get all 
men to lay down themselves in respect of their persons and estates to be disposed 
of by the said seven men in a way of righteousness." 

At a court, June 19, 1657, he was one of five men "chosen to lay out roads 
and view fences." 

December 9, 1658, at a town meeting, he was chosen to be " overseer for. 
mending the bridge." 

October, 1648, he " was allowed for his basedrum the sum of thirteen shillings, 
and his year begins the said day." There being no church bells, a drummer 
was employed to go round the town and summon people to church and town 
meetings. 

The meaning of the two following items is not quite clear: 

At the general court, October 23, 1650, "it was ordered that Thomas Sayre 
shall duly train with the company of town soldiers at their days appointed, ex- 
cepting his personal pursuing of the Indians in a hostile way, or to go forth against 
the common enemy." 

October 6, 1653, "It is concluded that Thomas Sayre shall have paid unto 
him by the town ten shillings as an allowance unto him for some pitts that he 
emparted to the highway, for which he was to have allowance by order made for- 
merly when Mr. Wells and Mr. Gibbons were here." 

He was probably of a quick temper, and not slow to express his opinions even 
about those in authority, as is evidenced by the following: 



The Southampton Founder 21 

November 18, 1644, " Thomas Sayre was censured for some contemptuous 
carriage to Mr. Gosmer, being Magistrate, to pay ten shillings and to make public 
acknowledgment of his offense, which if he shall refuse, then to be liable to pay 
forty shillings." 

March, 1653, "Thomas Sayre and Joshua Barnes for speaking unseemly and 
unsavory words in the Court or concerning the Court were fined to pay ten shil- 
lings each. Note — ye fines remitted upon their acknowledgment March 6, 
1654." 

He was doubtless liberal of heart. The town records publish only one occa- 
sion where contributions were made for those in distress, and on that occasion it 
relates: "At a town meeting, February 4, 1656, a contribution was made for 
Goodman Gouldsmith, because of his loss by fire " (house burned by Indians) ; of 
the contributors (of wheat) one only gave more than Thomas Sayre. 

His name appears as a juror nine times in the period from September, 1653, to 
September, 1658. 

At the original settlement of the town each settler was allowed a " home lot " 
and certain other lands, and subsequently other lands were divided among the 
original settlers or those to whom they had disposed of their rights; each lot was 
designated as a 150-pound lot, and there were forty-one allotments made at the 
several divisions. 

February 2, 1653, there was a "division of lands called Sagaponack," and he 
drew lot No. 4, 150, and 50 of lot 13. 

February, 1654, at the " Seaponack Division," he drew lot No. 2 and 50 of 
lot 25. 

1657, at the "Eastward allotment of meadows at the Beach," he drew lot 47 
and part of 15. 

March 5, 1651, the "little plains" allotment was made, and Thomas Sayre 
drew No. 25, and " is to have 50 out of No. 29." 

A second " division of the little plains " took place shortly afterwards, and he 
drew as in the foregoing allotment. 

He signed the call for the town meeting to arrange for the reception of Gov- 
ernor Lovelace in 1668. 

He was a farmer and a tanner. In 1667 he gave five acres to each of his four 
sons. 

He died in 1670. 

His original will, with autograph signature, is preserved in the office of the 
Surrogate, New York, and is recorded there in Liber I, folio 63. It reads as 
follows : 

I11 ye name of God, Amen. I, Thomas Sayre of South Hampton on Long 
Island in the Com. Nov : Yorke, being in perfect strength of mind, blessed be ye 
Lord for it, but weake of Bodye, not knowing ye day of my appointed change doe

The children of Thomas Sayre, in the order of names as they appear in the 
will, possibly not in order of birth : in the distribution of the " household goods'* 
the name of Job precedes that of Joseph, and there are reasons for conjecturing 
that the former was the older : 

2*1 FRANCIS,* m. Sarah Wheeler. 
, 3* DANIEL, 2 m. 1st Hannah Foster; 2d Sarah . 

1 The asterisks affixed to certain numbers indicate that reference will be made on subsequent pages to the persons

1706. 

She died without children, and he married, 1664, Sarah Judson, who died August 29, 
1688. 

This (supposed) daughter is not mentioned in Thomas Say re's will, but it is a sur- 
mise from an entry in Southampton town records, March 14, 1663, that Edmund 
Howell '• sells land to his father-in-law, Thomas Sayre." 

"Father-in-law" was, however, sometimes used for " stepfather" ; and it is possible 
that Sayre had married Eleanor, the widow of Edward Howell, the father of 
Edmund. 



Job Sayre. 



Of Job Sayre, the brother of Thomas, but little is known. He was born in 
Bedfordshire, England; baptized at Leighton Buzzard, January 13, 1611; had 
sixty acres of land allotted to him in Lynn, Mass., in 1638, which he sold to 
Adam Otley, who conveyed it to Richard Glover of London, by deed dated 16th 
October, 1644; the said sixty acres of land being described as lying in Rumney 
Marsh (now the City of Chelsea). 

The name of Job Sayre appears in the list of proprietors of Southampton, 
1640; member of the First Ward Whaling Squadron in 1644, of Freemen 1648-9, 
and of Inhabitants in 1649. 

His name is not found in the Division of Plains lands in 165 1, and as no 
allotment was made to any representative, he had evidently sold out his interest 
and removed, or had deceased without children surviving. That he probably

The Southampton Founder 25 

removed would appear from the fact that a Job Sayre witnessed an affidavit of 
John Treworgy at Pascataway (now Dover), N. H., Oct. 25, 1650. 

This was probably the same Job, but whether he was at Pascataway tempo- 
rarily, or whether he had settled there, we have so far been unable to learn. 

In Savage's " Genealogical Dictionary " he is called son of Thomas Sayre ; but 
this is an error. Howell, in his " History of Southampton," follows Savage's 
lead. In the first edition he states that Thomas Sayre was born in 1593, which 
in the second edition he changes to " about 1590." 



26 The Pioneers 



CHAPTER III. 

The Pioneers. 

2 FRANCIS- SAYRE was born probably in Bedfordshire. He lived at 
the North End in Southampton, L. I. ; married Sarah (probably Wheeler). She 
was doubtless the daughter of Thomas Wheeler and Alice, his wife, of New 
Haven, Conn. The latter, after the death of her first husband, married Josiah 
Stanborough, of East Hampton, L. I., and died about December, 1673, as 
appears from the following from Suffolk Co., N. Y., Records, Sessions Book 
No. 1, page 288 : ' 

The estate of Widow Alice Stanborough was inventoried Dec. 22, 1673. 
After the inventory is the following : 

"We John Wheeler Francis Sayre and Joshua Horton have divided the goods 
belonging to her estate to our satisfaction. John Wheeler is to pay all debts, and 
to have all outstanding dues. No will is found and yet there may be a will. But 
if any will is found it shall not affect the above agreement." It is signed by John 
Wheeler, Francis Sayre and Joshua Horton and witnessed by Samuel Mulford 
and Enoch Fithian. 

The court finds that the above are the persons to whom of right the estate 
belongs and ratifies the agreement. 

John Wheeler having a double portion is to pay half the court charges. 
Francis Sayre is to pay the other half and to recover half of such sum from Joshua 
Horton. 

They call themselves brothers and speak of Alice Stanborough as " our 
mother." 

The date of above agreement was January 9, 1673. 

Francis Sayre's name appears in list of inhabitants in 1657, and in Whaling 
Squadron, Fifth Ward, in 1657 and 1667; he signed the call for a meeting on 
reception of Gov. Lovelace in 1668. In tax levy for 1683, he was assessed on 
2 polls and ^178. 

He was chosen Overseer April 1, 1681, and Trustee of Southampton April 
4, 1693. 

Mr. William S. Pelletreau copied from an old fragment of town papers, torn 
and almost illegible, the following: " Monday, Jan. 13, 1667 — laid out to Francis 
Sayre, next to his own in y e rear division, 40 poles East and West, and i^poles 
North and South, for 5 acres." 

A deed from Francis Sayre to Job Sayre dated February 5, 1694, recorded 
Liber A of deeds, page 76 (Riverhead), conveys: 

Three acres of land lying and being in y e great plains in a necke commonly 
called by y e name of Captain's Necke, being bounded as followeth : on y e north 
side with y e land of Job Sayre afores d and on y e south side with my own land 
and on y e east & west end with highways, with all y e fencing.

A deed from Francis Sayre to Job Sayre, dated March 22, 1696, recorded

dred of meadow in y e division at Acquaboug, and hundred of meadow and up- 
land in a twenty acres division in hogg necks & a hundred pound alotm't of 
commonage and all other mesuage of land & priviledges. 

He died January 20, 1698. 

His will reads as follows :

4 JOSEPH - SAYRE, born probably in Bedfordshire, married Martha . 

On the fragment of town records mentioned on page 26 is the following: 

" Monday Jan. 13, 1667, laid out for Job and Joseph Sayre on the north side 
of Lieut. Post's, by Francis Sayre, on y e South side 51 poles ; on the north side 48 
poles ; on y e East side 30 poles, on the west side 32 poles, for 10 acres." 

He removed from Southampton in 1665 to Elizabeth, N. J., and was named 
as one of the proprietors in Elizabeth in a deed from Richard Nicholls, Governor. 
He signed a petition to the Governor in December, 1667 ; was a witness there 
October 4, 167 1, and took the oath of allegiance to the Dutch September 11, 1673. 

He was a tanner as well as a farmer, and received ,£40 in merchandise by his 
father's will towards setting him up as a tanner. He also received one third of 
his father's household effects, from which possibly it might be inferred that at 
that date he was not yet married, or had just begun housekeeping. 

April 11, 1676, a warrant for the survey of 180 acres of land at Elizabeth was 
issued to him. 

Hatfield's " History of Elizabeth " (pp. 167-183) gives the following list of lots, 
at Elizabeth, belonging to Joseph Sayre : 

His house-lot of 5 acres was bounded on the North by Robert Bond ; West, 
by the Mill Creek; East, by the Highway, and South by Benjamin Homan. 

He had also 9 acres of upland in the plaine, adjoining Daniel De Hart; 
also 12 acres of upland adjoining Rev. Jeremiah Peck and Stephen Osborne; also 
22 acres of upland on the small neck adjoining Rev. Jeremiah Peck and Joseph 
Meeker; also 9 acres of upland on the Mill Brook adjoining Robert Bond and 
Robert Vauquellen; also 36 acres of upland near a swamp and adjoining George 
Pack; also 35 acres of upland adjoining Hurr Thompson; also 10 acres of mea- 
dow at Woodruff's Creek; and 4 acres on Elizabethtown Creek. In all 142 
acres. 

This list cannot be complete, as it does not include the 180 acres mentioned 
above nor the land referred to in this item : 

"In 1699-1700 John Megie drew a 100-acre lot between Joseph Sayre and 
Benjamin Lyon and the foot of the mountain." 

In 1694 he subscribed ^"i towards the support of the Presbyterian minister, 
Rev. John Harriman. 

He died in 1695. His will, dated December 4, 1695, was apparently proved 
the same day, and reads as follows : 

In the name of God, Amen, I, Joseph Sayre of Elizabeth Town in y e county of 
Essex and province of East New Jersey, Yeoman, Being weak and sick in body 
but of perfect understanding and memmory as at any other times, Doo Make,

September 27, 1689, he married Sarah . He was pressed a trooper to go to

14 JONATHAN 3 SAYRE, born in Southampton, L. I. 

Joseph Walters, of Newark, about 1688, gave his estate to "cousin Jonathan 
Sayre." 

On May 1, 1697, the Proprietors of East Jersey deeded to Jonathan Sayre, of 
Newark, certain real estate. 

In the Colonial MSS. at Albany (Vol. LY, p. 6), May 3, 171 1, Jonathan Sayre 
is referred to as " Master of the good sloop Unity bound for New York." 

Vol. LV, p. 116, July 11, 17 1 1, records a receipt from "Jonathan Sayer," dated 
at New Haven, for 1 1 bbls. of pork and beef to be delivered to his Excellency Col. 
Hunter, in New York, " on my arrival there." 

Newark, N. J., records: 

In 1716 Jonathan Sayre had 70 links of fencing on the common line — the 
fence beginning at Bound Creek and running north to Main River. 

In 1721 he was surveyor of highways in Newark, N. J. 

Early copies of the " New York Post Boy" mention Captain Jonathan Sayre's 
vessel as sailing from Boston to East Jersey. 

He died at Newark, N. J., in 1732, aged fifty years, as stated on his grave- 
stone. Probably an error in age, and more likely sixty years.

1700, Daniel Sayre and other inhabitants of Elizabethtown went to Newark and 
took from the Sheriff the keys of the prison, and liberated Joseph Parmenter., then 
in custody. We have no further explanation of the matter. At a town meeting 
of the inhabitants of Elizabethtown held August 2, 1720, he was appointed one of 
a committee of seven freeholders, or trustees, for the disposal of the common 
lands, and to defend the title of the people to their inheritance. He died in

Abbott. He removed to Cohansey, N. J., about 17 16, and, according to 
Shourd's "History of Fenwick Colony," settled on land bought of William Hall, 
near Maskell's mills. He subscribed ^5 towards building the Presbyterian 
church there in 1735. The children named below are those given in Shourd's 
History. We think it an error, and that Thomas (37) was the Thomas Sayre 
whose will is recorded at Trenton, dated October 10, 1758, and probated March 
11, 1761, in which he is described as a cordwainer of Hopewell. He made his

54 Fifth Generation: Line of John? Francis* 

wife Mary sole executrix, and divided his plantation where he lived equally 
between his wife and his son David, and made other bequests to his son Ben- 
jamin (probably the elder son), his daughter Hannah, and his granddaughters 
Phjlathia, and Rhoda Sayre. A deed recorded in Liber W, folio 83, at Trenton, 
dated December 24, 1757, shows that Thomas Sayre, cordwainer of Hopewell, 
had bought land in Hopewell, February 18, 1722, and had conveyed part of it to 
his son Benjamin by deed dated November 5, 1753. We have not been able to 
further trace these children named. Thomas (118) and James (119), mentioned 
below, may be children of David (64), but as we cannot demonstrate that theory 
we conclude to follow Shourd.

153 JOHN 5 had a farm which he conveyed to his father. He was not married at 

date of his father's will, and undoubtedly never married, as his sisters' and his 
brother's children subsequently conveyed their interest in his property to 
Daniel 6 (472), known as " Daniel 4th." He died about 1795. 

154 ABRAHAM 5 was not married at date of his father's will, and, doubtless, 

never married. 

Following is a copy of an advertisement that appeared in the" New Jersey 
Journal," of Elizabeth. The application referred to has been diligently 
sought for in the record offices in Trenton and Newark, but in vain. As far 
as can be ascertained from the scanty records, Daniel'' Sayre (472), called 
" Daniel Sayre 4 th ," must have previously purchased from Abraham Sayre, 
who is believed to have died unmarried in Newark about the year 1800, his 
half of the farm referred to in the advertisement, and subsequently purchased 
the other half from the heirs of his uncle John. Rev. Menzo Rayner, of 
Elizabeth, N. J., and several Rayners of Hempstead, L. I., in 1798 conveyed 
to Daniel Sayre 4 th their interest as heirs of one ninth part of John Sayre's 
estate, but their kinship has not been discovered. 

Wednesday, December 14, 1796. Notice is hereby given, that upon applica- 
tion to me by Daniel Sayre of Elizabethtown, Essex Co., N. J., who claims an 
undivided y 2 part of all that tract of land, which formerly belonged to Daniel 
Sayre, the elder, deceased, which was given and bequeathed by the last will 
and testiment of the said Daniel Sayre the elder, unto his 2 sons John and 
Abraham Sayre, to be equallv divided between them, subject to the creditors 
and limitations, in the said will mentioned, and expressed, which said tract of 
land, so given undivided, is situated, lying and being in Elizabeth Town 
aforesaid, bounded easterly by the land possessed by John Allen; southwardly, 
partly by land possessed by Henry Jefferies, and partly land formerly of John 
Stites, Esq., deceased ; westwardly by Railway River, and northwardly by the 
road, or highway leading from Conn. Farms to the Scotch Plains. I have 
nominated Jonas Wade, Esq., David Crane, Esq., and Joshua Winans, com- 
missioners to divide the said tract of land into 2 equal shares or parts ; and 
unless proper objections are stated to me, at the house of Mr. Ferd Cotter, 
innkeeper in Elizabeth Town aforesaid, on the fourteenth day of February 
next, the said Jonas Wade, David Crane and Joshua Winans will then be 
appointed commissioners to make partition of the said land, pursuant to an 
act entitled " An Act for the more easy partition of lands held by co- 
partners, joint tenants and tenants in common." Passed the nth day of 
November 1789.

Haddam, Conn. Her mother was a daughter of Captain Nathaniel White, and 
granddaughter of Elder John White, of Haddam. 

Isaac Sayre on December 22, 1721, " declares ear mark" at Southampton. 

In the Southampton town book, Vol. II, p. 187, is an account of the pro- 
ceedings of the Commissioners of Highways, in 1726, in rectifying the highway 
between Hezekiah Topping's and Isaac Sayre's corner; and also "between East 
Hampton line and Isaac Sayre's land, we have laid out a highway to the beach." 

He died in 1726. 

His will, New York surrogate's office, Liber X, folio 413, reads as follows :

Silas Sayre, of Southampton, in y e county of Suffolk, and y e colonie of New

62 SAMUEL 4 SAYRE, married probably a daughter of Joseph Lyon, who in 
his will, dated February 15, i7f-f> mentions his sons-in law Samuel and Daniel Sayre. 
He was admitted an "Associate" in Ehzabethtown, June 7, 1735, and his "ear- 
mark" recorded. In the second division of Elizabethtown lots, January 18, i7f-§-, 
he drew Lot No. 17, which is on the west side of the Passaic River, west of New 
Providence. He was probably the Samuel Sayre, of Somerset Co., N. J., whose 
eldest son Samuel was appointed administrator of his estate, June 15, 1760, and 
who, we conclude, was the person named below.

He married Rebecca Bond, daughter of Benjamin Bond, who married April 
18, 1 761, Stephen Hinds. 

His will, at Trenton, N. J., Liber G, folio 248, dated February 2, 1760, pro- 
bated April 17, 1760, calls him a blacksmith of Elizabeth, N. J.; mentions his wife, 
Rebecca; a daughter, Sarah, wife of John Owen, and her daughters, Mary, 
Rebecca, and Hannah. 

He bequeaths to his son David, 10 acres; to his son Benjamin, 30 acres; to

85 JOSEPH 4 SAYRE, born in Elizabeth, N. J., was not of age at the date 
of his father's will (17 13). 

He married first, , and second, Sarah Tillit, widow of Yost Duryee, for- 
merly of Oyster Bay, L..I. 

He removed to Orange County, N. Y., where he was a farmer and mason. 
The "old Josie Sayre house" was until quite recently standing near Goshen. 

A deed is in possession of Walter H. Sayer, Esq., Florida, N. Y., dated 
March 3, 1759, from John Nicholl, of New Windsor, in Ulster County, and 
Frances Nicholl, widow and relict of John Nicholl, deceased, father of John, to 
Joseph Sayers, a mason, of Goshen, for a ^150 lot, No. 32, being one of the 
south eastern division lands in Goshen, in line of Colvin Bradner, being 172 acres. 

His will, recorded in the surrogate's office, New York, in Liber XXVI, folio 
64, was dated April n, 1767, and probated October 31, 1767, and describes him 
as of Goshen. It mentions his wife, Sarah . 

He bequeathed 5 s to each of his three eldest sons, they having each " received 
a child's portion." To his son Daniel he gave ^190; to his son Stephen, 
^220; to his daughter Martha, jP^ioo; and ^100 to be equally divided among 
Yost Doree, Garret Doree, Sarah Doree, and Hannah Doree, children of his 
second wife. To his youngest son, Jonathan, who was not yet of age, he gave 
his farm. His sons James and John were appointed executors.

87 THOMAS 4 SAYRE, born in Elizabeth, N. J., was a minor at the date 
of his father's will. He married first, Susannah Seely ; and second, Dinah . 

He removed to Orange County, N. Y. He owned a farm in 1754, extending 
to the then boundary line between Ulster and Orange counties, in what is now 
known as Hamptonburgh. 

In the Census of Slaves in 1755 he is set down as owning one slave. 

He removed to the southern part of the county, having bought land in War- 
wick township, where he had a mill, as appears from the following records: 

In Liber C, folio 441, of Conveyances at Goshen is a deed, dated July 30, 
1766, from David McCamly to Thomas Sayre, for land on "the west side of the 
highway that leads to David McCamly's mill, and on the road to Captain De 
Kay's house." 

Part of this land he conveyed to his son, Thomas, Jr., April 29, 1777. See 
Mortgages, Liber A, folio 253, Goshen, "land near Sayre's mill." Also Liber D, 
folio 4, February 13, 1779. 

Will of Wm. Bull, 1755, Liber XX, folio 42, refers as follows: 

Son Isaac 200 acres where he lives bounded S. E. by line of my land. S. W. 
by line called new North West line of Capt. John Evans' Patent. N. E. by land 
of Stephen Harlow and Thomas Sayres, and to extend so far north as to contain

89 EPHRAIM 4 SAYRE, born in Elizabethtown, N. J. 
On page 103 of Elizabeth town book No. 2 the following appears, under date 
September 28, 1744: 

Jacob Brookfield and Ephraim Sayre make application for survey of their 
lands, the original town book showing the surveys being lost. Ephraim Sayre 
says his land begins at the N. W. corner of land conveyed to his honored father 
Daniel Sayre, dec d , runs thence East 23 chains to the line of Jacob Brookfield, 
&c. — about 35 acres — bounded S. by West Brook and Daniel Sayre dec d ; E. by 
East Brook and a road; N. W. and N. E. by Jacob Brookfield; S. W. by John 
Pike and Daniel Meeker. 

An Ephraim Sayre, carpenter, of Elizabeth, died intestate, and his widow, 
Elizabeth, by a letter dated May 16, 1746, renounced her right to administer 
upon his estate, and requested that Ebenezer Sayre, brother, and Lewis Mulford, 
chief creditor", be appointed, which was done. The appraisal of the property 
was ^330, and among the witnesses was Jonathan Sayre. Elizabeth Sayre 
executed a power of attorney to Lewis Mulford to collect debts due her late hus- 
band, which is recorded in the register's office in New York, and she appeared 
before the mayor of that city in 1754 and duly acknowledged it. 

Ephraim Sayre married, in the Dutch Church, N. Y., June 1, 1737, Elizabeth 
Lynesson, daughter of Gideon and Jane Herres Lynesson, who was baptized in 
the Dutch Church, N. Y., October 26, 17 18. John Sayre (90) was living in 
New York in 1737, in Broad Street, and his next-door neighbor was Joost 
Lynesson ; and it has therefore been conjectured that it was his brother Ephraim 
who married Elizabeth Lynesson. As, however, Ebenezer's (91) brother 
Ephraim was apparently the one who died in 1746, and the husband of Elizabeth 
Lynesson is assumed to have been living as late as 1782, it is possible that the 
latter was not a son of Daniel, but a son or grandson of Ephraim, 3 son of Joseph, 2 
of whose descendants we have no trace. The name of Lynesson appears later' 
among the descendants of the Ephraim who is mentioned in Littell's " Early 
Settlers of Passaic Valley" as owning and living on Lot No. 51 of addition to 
Elizabeth town lots. This was on the west side of the Passaic River, in Morris 
County, on Long Hill. An unrecorded lease, dated May 7, 1762, is in possession 
of D. Hobart Sayre, Esq., of Union, from Ephraim Sayre, of Essex County, 
tailor, to John Bebout, of Morris County, weaver, for one hundred acres of land 
then in possession of Ephraim, being Lot No. 51 bounded south by Hilley's, 
east by Lewis Woodruff, west by John Sayre, north by Peter Bebout ; also for 
the meadow in Willow Swamp. 

The following advertisement appeared in the " New Jersey Journal" of May 
29, 1782, published at Chatham, N. J.: 

All persons indebted to the estate of Daniel Sayre, late of Elizabeth, deceased, 
must pay by 27 th June, or they will be proceeded against.

In the name of God, Amen. I Elizabeth Sayre now residing in Bordentown 
in the County of Burlington and State of New Jersey being of a sound and 
disposing mind and memory do make and publish this, my last will and testa-

First — I give bequeath and devise to my friend Dr. Thomas Redman of 
Bucks County in the State of Pennsylvania (at his place called New Windsor) 
five thousand Dollars in the six per cent stock of the United States (which he 
now holds in trust for me) and his heirs upon this special trust and confidence 
that the said Dr. Thomas Redman and his heirs shall pay and apply the interest 
arising from the said money in the manner following to wit, first to pay the same 
to my husband Stephen Sayre should he survive me, for and during the time of 
his natural life and from and immediately after the death of my said husband, to 
pay the same unto my son Samuel William Sayre for and during the time of his 
natural life, upon this special trust and confidence, that my said son applies the 
interest of the said money for the education of his children by his present wife 
Mrs. Virginia Sayre and from and after the death of my said son to pay the same 
to his present wife Virginia, while she shall remain unmarried and the widow of

portions to each of the children — Provided always, and it is my further will and 
direction, that as the said children, if male, shall respectively arrive at the age of 
twenty one years, and if female, shall respectively arrive at the age of eighteen

placed in the stock, the whole to be divided into as many parts or portions as 
there shall be children living at the death or second marriage of the said Virginia 
Sayre and provided always and it is my further will and particular desire should 
my grand daughter Mary Grymes Sayre survive all the children of my son Samuel 
by his present wife Virginia before they arrive at the age herein mentioned that 
my Trustee or, Executor herein named or his heirs shall pay immediately unto 
my grand daughter, Mary Grymes Sayre all the original money with the interest 
that may be due of five thousand dollars in the six per cent stock of the United

(Signed) Elizabeth Sayre. 

March 5th, 1818. 

Stephen Sayre was educated at Princeton College, and was graduated there- 
from in 1757, receiving the degree of A. M. in 1760, and a like honor from Harvard 
in the same year. He was commissioned as Captain of the Suffolk County 
Company in the French war in 1759. He removed to London, where he 
became a banker. He was conspicuous for personal elegance and accomplish- 
ments, and was said to be the handsomest man in England. He moved in the 
best society of the kingdom, and was in the confidence of Chatham and other 
Liberal statesmen of England. He was chosen High Sheriff of London in 1773, 
and delivered an able speech before the Livery of London on the occasion, 
from which we quote (Thompson's " History of Long Island," I, 360) : 

Gentlemen of the Livery: It is impossible for me to express the feelings of 
gratitude which predominate in my breast upon the present occasion. The honor 
you have done me calls for a return which a life entirely devoted to your services 
only can make. I deem myself more highly favored because I am well con- 
vinced that nothing under heaven could have induced you to elect me into the 
office of Sheriff but an opinion of my independence and sincere attachment to the 
public cause. 

I am independent : I will continue so. Upon public grounds only I presumed 
to solicit your favor : upon public grounds only I will study to deserve it. 

It shall be the labor of my life to convince you that in vesting me with your 
gracious choice I will strain every nerve in combating our common foe ; I will 
labor assiduously to stop the progress of despotism ; at least I will, by a vigorous 
exertion of those powers with which you have entrusted me, prevent its making 
any inroads into this great, this opulent, this free and independent city. 

But his advocacy of the American cause and consequent opposition to the 
arbitrary measures of the Administration drew upon him the displeasure of the 
Government. In 1774 a petition of native Americans residing in London was 
presented to George II. There were thirty signers in all, and the first name on 
the list was Stephen Sayre. (" N. E. General Register," XXX, 134.) 

In 1775, in a gay and unguarded moment, he let fall some expressions which 
were seized upon by an officer of the Guards, a natrVevVrnerican also, Richardson 
by name, who charged him with having asserted that\e and others intended to 
seize the King on his way to Parliament, take possession of the city, and over- 
throw the Government. 

He was thereupon arrested and committed to the Tower upon a charge of 
high treason. He remained a prisoner five days, but being brought before 
Lord Mansfield, the Chief Justice saw the inconsistency of the charge, and 
admitted him to bail in ,£500, with two sureties of ^250 each. No prosecution 
was attempted, and the bail was thereupon discharged.

Mr. Sayre then sued Lord Rochford (who had committed him), the Under 
Secretaries of State, and the King's Messengers for illegal imprisonment, and 
recovered ^iooo damages, subject to decision of the Court on certain points of 
law relative to the evidence. This decision was handed down on November 25, 
1776, adversely to Sayre, and Sayre suffered heavily in costs. His banking-' 
house, Stephen Sayre and Barth-Coote-Purdon, Oxford Street, failed, and he 
lost everything. 

The following is from the London " Public Ledger" of October 25, 1775 : 

Between the hours of nine and ten on Monday morning Mr. Slavely, of Half 
Moon Street, Piccadilly, and Mr. Mann, of Queen Anne Street, Westminster, 
(King's Messengers), attended by a constable, repaired to the house of Stephen 
Sayre, Esquire, in Oxford Street. 

As an excuse to obtain an interview with him they pretended a forged draft 
for ^200 had been issued by the bank of which Mr. Sayre is a proprietor. He 
no sooner appeared than they acquainted him that they had an order, signed by 
Lord Rochford, one of the Secretaries of State, to take him into custody on a 
charge of high treason, and to search for, take, and carry with them such of his 
papers as they might deem effectual for their purposes. 

Mr. Sayre heard the summons with composure, and obeyed its dictates with 
manly dignity ; conscious of his innocence, he smiled at the malignity of the 
charge, and in perfect reliance upon his own integrity permitted the officers to 
search his tables and rifle his bureau. 

They conducted him to Lord Rochford, where they also found Sir John 
Fielding. 

The charge in the information was that Mr. Sayre had expressed an intention 
of seizing the King's person as he went to the Parliament house, and of taking 
possession of the Tower, etc. 

The advice of Mr. Sayre's counsel was that he should not answer any interro- 
gations which Lord Rochford or Sir John Fielding might put, nor sign any paper 
whatever. 

Mr. Sayre was then ordered into an adjoining apartment, and afterwards com- 
mitted a close prisoner to the Tower. 

He was released October 28 th on bail. 

On the 13 th of December, 1775, he appeared at the Old Bailey, and his coun- 
sel, Mr. Arthur Lee, jnoved to discharge the recognizance entered into on the 
28 th of October last, on Mr. Sayre's being brought before Lord Mansfield upon a 
writ of habeas corpus. 

Mr. Baron Burland, who, with the Lord Mayor, presided at the court, accord- 
ingly discharged the recognizance, and Mr. Sayre immediately gave orders to 
commence actions against Lord Rochford, the Under Secretaries of State, and 
the King's Messengers. 

In Gorden's " History " it is also stated that "in 1775 many suspicions were 
entertained of combinations in favor of America, and upon certain hints thrown 
out, Mr. Sayre, an American and a banker in London, was secured; and being 
examined before the Secretary of State, Lord Rochford, and confronted by his 
accuser, was committed to the Tower for high treason, on the ridiculous charge 
of designing to seize His Majesty at noonday in his passage to the House of 



Sixth Generation : Line of Johji? John? Francis' 1 93 

Peers, of conveying him a prisoner to the Tower, and afterwards out of the king- 
dom, and of overturning the whole form of government by bribing a few 
sergeants of the Guards." 

Mr. Sayre, it is said, subsequently served as private secretary to Franklin, 
though no proof can be found, and was employed in various matters by Arthur 
Lee, and went in his suite to Berlin at the time of the first suggestion of the 
project of armed neutrality. 

He owned property in New York City, and lived there in 1784; for in the New 
York register's office, Liber III of mortgages, folio 383, we find the following: 

Stephen Sayre, Esq., of N. Y. Mortgages for ^1000 to Peter Stuyvesant, 
May 27, 1784, land bounded South-west by Wall St., South-east by Lot 6, for- 
merly occupied by Lewis Pentard, North-east by James Nevens, and North- 
west by Lot 8, formerly owned by Nicholas Bayard, being 25x122, being land 
granted to Nicholas W. Stuyvesant by John Cruger et al. in 1762 and 1773. 

Subsequently he preferred claims for his services in Europe during the war, 
and for his expenses incurred ; but though these claims were investigated by com- 
mittees of several successive Congresses and were approved by officers of the 
Government, no appropriation was ever made to reimburse him. 

In the possession of one of his descendants is an invitation addressed to him 
at Alexandria, Va., requesting him to dine with General Washington. 

From the " Richmond Enquirer," dated February 25, 1806, we quote the 
following : 

We are informed that Stephen Sayre, Esq., is now in our city and lodges at 
the Bell [tavern] ; he has been on a visit to his son Capt. Sayre. 

We hope he may be induced to reside here, as his only son has now a consid- 
erable property in the State. 

It is well known that Mr. Sayre was Sheriff of London at the commencement 
of our Revolutionary War; and being too zealous in our cause, he was committed 
to the Tower, under a pretence of treason against the Government; that he 
quitted England, was employed by our Commissioners in Paris in 1777 to go to 
Berlin, that he first prevailed on the King of Prussia to enter into the Armed 
Neutrality; he then proceeded to Denmark and Sweden, united those two powers 
in the object, which was finally carried into effect in 1780 by the Empress of 
Russia, who fitted out 20 ships of the line to support it. 

We have made the above remarks because, since his arrival, Mr. Sayre has 
made some communications to a friend here that must, when publicly known, not 
merely excite curiosity, but the wonder of every Citizen of America. 

We are informed of a project by the Northern papers to be conducted by 

General , but we had no idea before that his plan was the most extensive, 

and, above all things, most likely to change the state of affairs through the 
universe. 

He bought an estate upon the Delaware River, near Bordentown, N. J., which 
he called Point Breeze. This beautiful estate, some years later, was sold to 
Joseph Bonaparte, ex-king of Spain, who expended large sums in its further 
embellishment. 



94 Sixth Generation : Line of John , 4 John? Francis - 

The Massachusetts " Spy," or Worcester " Gazette," of September 25, 1816, 
contains this paragraph relative to Joseph Bonaparte, which it had copied from 
" The Baltimore American " : 

This man, it is known, has fixed his residence on a moderate property at Bor- 
dentown, N. J., worth sixteen or eighteen thousand dollars. He seems determined 
to conform to the manners and customs of our country. I saw old Mr. Sayre, of 
whom he purchased the farm. He said when Mr. Buonaparte came to take pos- 
session of that place he was called out from dinner, and found him busily engaged, 
with his own hands, unloading the furniture he had brought. Something was 
said about sending for other hands, but he said no — everybody worked in this 
country. 

The city of Bordentown afterwards bought the estate for a public park, known 
now as the Bonaparte Park. 

From the " Richmond Enquirer" of December 10, 1818, we quote: 

Died. — At the residence of his son in Brandon, Virginia, on the 27th of Sep- 
tember last, Stephen Sayre, Esq., a native of Long Island, in the 85th year of his 
age; and on the next day his wife also died.

118 THOMAS 5 SAYRE. The account given below is based upon Shourd's 
" History of Fenwick Colony." There is some reason for believing that this pedi- 
gree is erroneous, and that Thomas, the father of the children whose names 
follow, was Thomas 5 (207) of the line of David, 4 David, 3 Daniel. 2 But as this 
cannot be demonstrated, we have followed Shourd. Thomas Sayre married 
Rachel Dennis. He resided in Lower Alloway Creek, Salem County, N. J. He 
was a farmer and Justice of the Peace for many years. 

His will is recorded in Trenton in Liber XXXV, folio 97. It is dated August 
25, 1791, and probated January 8, 1794. His son Dennis was made executor. 
Abbott Sayre was a witness.

He was killed at Hancock's Bridge, N. J., March 17, 1778. His widow sub- 
sequently married James 6 Sayre (374). It is said that the British searched 



Sixth Generation : Line of Thomas? John? Francis 1 95 

his body, and finding no watch, swore he must be a poor Yankee Captain 
who could not carry a watch ! His body was carried away by friends, and his 
watcli found in his boot. His brother Reuel received and carried it till his 
death, leaving it by will to his son] Reuben, with the request that it should be 
handed down to a Reuben Sayre, as long as there should be one in the family. 
It is now held by Reuben Sayre, of Millfield, Athens Co., O. 

Johnson's " History of Salem " states that Reuben Sayre was killed by 
Jonathan Ballinger. Some years after Sayre's son fell into the Delaware 
River, and was rescued by a person on the wharf. When he recovered he 
recognized his rescuer as a son of Ballinger, and immediately jumped over- 
board again, saying he would not owe his life to such a rascal! and was again 
rescued with difficulty. As Reuben left no children this story is evidently 
apocryphal. 

Reuben left an estate appraised at ^1345 8s. oxl., over which a contest arose 
between his widow and other heirs, which was settled by arbitration Feb. 
4, 1779, the widow receiving one third.

Barker and Hannah Sayre, the widow of Reuben Sayre (364).

which city it is recorded in Liber S, folio 439. It gives to his "only son" 
Edward all his land, and to each of his three daughters ^100 on her marriage, 
or on attaining eighteen years of age.

On this fifth day of October 1832 personally appeared in open Court 
before the Court of Common Pleas, now sitting, within and for said county, 
Joseph Sayre, a resident of Mad River township in the County of Clark 
aforesaid, and State aforesaid, aged seventy-six years (within one month) who 
being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath, make the following 
declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed 
June 7, 1832. 

That he entered the service of the United States under the following named 
officers and served as herein stated : 

The Col. was John Holmes, the Lt. Col. was Benjamin Holmes and the 
name of the Major was Henry Sparks. This applicant was drafted. His 
Captain's name was Charlton Shepard, his Lieutenant's name was Benjamin 
Holmes, son of the Col. and nephew of the Lt. Col. aforesaid. Applicant was 



g6 Sixth Generation) Line of Thomas? John? Francis 2 

drafted in the month of September, 1775 or 1776, for one month, but served 
six weeks under the officers aforesaid. At the time applicant was drafted he 
lived in the County of Salem and State o'f New Jersey. Applicant after the 
aforesaid tour was ended, and in the same autumn, volunteered in the militia 
or " Flying Camp." His Capt. was the aforesaid Shepard and his Lt. was 
applicant's brother, Ruel Sayre. Applicant was first marched to Trenton 
where Col. Griffin of Philadelphia took the command for a season and kept it 
until the troops arrived in Bordentown when Gen. Washington took command. 
In the meantime applicant was present at an engagement at Mount Holly 
when the said Griffin commanded the American Troops. The British in that 
action were victorious. Applicant was at the cannonade of Trenton very early 
in the year 1777. The day after that cannonade the battle of Princeton was 
fought and this applicant participated in it from beginning to end. The day 
after the battle of Princeton he was taken sick and remained so for several 
weeks. In this tour of service he was employed nearly two months. 

In the next autumn applicant was drafted for one month and was joined to 
a company of which Ruel Sayre, applicant's brother, was Captain, and Benja- 
min Curlap was Lieutenant, the Ensign he does not recollect. David Potter 
was commandant of the regiment. The regiment was marched to Philadelphia 
where they remained about two weeks when they were driven forth by 
the British troops. Potter was taken prisoner on the retreat from Frank- 
fort. Applicant was, in the same month, in a skirmish at Dr. Otto's (or 
Auter). He then was marched to Woodbury where he remained until his 
term of service ended. In the same autumn he was drafted for another 
month and served it out at Cooper's Ferry, where the body of troops to which 
applicant was attached was stationed. 

In the month of March following applicant volunteered to prevent the 
British troops from crossing Alloway's Creek. His Captain was the aforesaid 
Charlton Shepard, and his Lieutenant, as applicant believes, was Benjamin 
Curlap, before named. At Hancock's Bridge, the party to which applicant 
belonged was encountered by a party of the British ten fold more numerous, 
and all of this applicant's companions were bayonetted — massacred — with the 
exception of a French boy, who, with this applicant were all that escaped. 
Applicant was then taken prisoner (on the 21st day of March), and remained 
in captivity (the principal part of the time), in the " Sugar House" in New 
York until he was exchanged in the month of October following. 

The following are applicant's answers to the interrogatories of the War 
Department : 

1 He was born in Salem County, N. J., in the year 1755. 

2 He has the record of his age in his family Bible. 

3 He lived in Salem aforesaid when called into service. He has since 
lived in Pennsylvania and Ohio. 

4 He was twice drafted, and once a volunteer. 

5 Washington, DeCleave, Newcomb, Potter. 

6 He had no written discharge. 

7 John A. Alexander, Maj. Gen. Samuel Craig, Esq., Elias Baker, and 
Samuel Shellabarger, Samuel Robinson, Thomas P. Moore, and many others. 

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity 
except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the 
Agency of any State.

it is erroneus to place him in this line, and he may have been James 5 (208) of the

was probably the James Sayre who was one of the founders of the Presbyterian 
church at Logtown in Lower Alloways Creek in 1750. The account of his

first, Lydia Harrison (license dated January 22, 1761), who died September 27, 
1786, aged fifty-one years; second, Mrs. Hannah Ogden, who died in April, 1804, 
aged sixty-two years; third, December 2, 1804, Mary Vance Sayre Hamilton, 
widow of Aaron Ogden (see p. 55), and fourth, December 12, 1808, Sarah, widow 
of Nathaniel Canfield. One statement is that this much-married man had also 
married Mrs. Jerusha D wight. 

He was a merchant in Newark December 7, 1774. The citizens of Newark 
chose a " Committee of Observation " for the township, and among them was 
Jonathan Sayre. Wickes' " History of Orange " states that Grove Street in that 
village was formerly called Whiskey Lane from the following incident. During 
the Revolutionary War Jonathan Sayre had stored in a barn on the lane a consid- 
erable quantity of whiskey, which was covered with salt hay. A band of Hessians 
discovered it while they were camped in the vicinity and got drunk on it. It 
came to be considered common property and everybody filled his jug from it, and 
the lane became known as " Whiskey Lane." 

He died May 31, 1815, and was buried in Trinity Churchyard, Newark. His 
will, dated April 4, 1815, was probated July 29, 1815, and is recorded in Newark 
(Liber C, folio 56). It divides his estate into twelve parts, apportioned among his 
children and grandchildren. If son Caleb desired to keep up hatter's shop which 
he occupied he was to be allowed to do so.

On an old court record at Newark, N. J., is the following: September Term 
1764. Uzal Sayre, apprenticed to John Vance was not properly instructed by 
the said master in his art and trade of a hatter, and said master had for some 
time followed his trade or employed his said apprentice therein but very little 
during the three years he had already lived with his said master; also that the 
said master has been for some time confined in the common gaol for the Borough 
of Elizabethtown and not likely soon to be released therefrom, and that said ap- 
prentice is already neglected by said master in providing and instructing him. . . . 
Whereupon the Court discharged him from his indentures. Thomas Eagles and 
Martha Eagles [his mother] petitioned the Court in his behalf as above. 

He served during the War of the Revolution, from Essex County, and was put 
on the pension roll August 10, 1833. He died at Newark, N. J., January 26, 1834, 
aged eighty-six years. After his death the pension was continued to his widow. 

The application for pension reads as follows : 

State of New Jersey ~) 

> ss. 
County of Essex ) 

On this 19th day of September in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight 
Hundred and Thirty-two, personally appeared in open Court before the Judges 
of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas holden at Newark in and for the County 
of Essex, UZAL SAYRES, of the town of Newark, County of Essex aforesaid, 
aged eighty-five years, who, being first duly sworn according to law, on his oath 
doth make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of 
Congress passed June 7th, 1832 : 

That he was born on the 16th day of September, 1747, and that he has a 
family record of his age, that he lived at Newark aforesaid at the commencement 
of the Revolution, that he was then enrolled in an uniformed company of mili- 
tia commanded by Capt. James Wheeler. The militia companies in the sections 
of the country where he resided were divided into classes and especially the com- 
pany to which he belonged, into classes in such manner as that his tour of duty 
returned every third month. 

In the year 1776, the month he does not now recollect, he marched under 
command of the said Capt. James Wheeler to Long Island previous to the 
landing of the British there, and was encamped on the Island for one month at 
least and did duty as a soldier there until relieved by troops called three months 
men when he returned home and there, being on the line, was frequently called 
on occasions of alarms and other occasions, and in this manner did military duty 
until his next tour. 

In April 1777, he served one month tour of duty in Newark under the com- 
mand of Capt. Joseph Hays, after which he did repeated service in times of alarm 
in standing sentry, guarding prisoners and property, under the command of Capt. 
James Wheeler and other Captains whose names are not now recollected, until 
again ordered out on another month's tour, which next tour took place in the 
month of July, 1777, and under the command of Capt. Thomas Williams, which 
service was also performed in the town of Newark, after which he performed duty 
as before stated in alarms, as a guard, and as a sentinel, whenever called on and 
which was frequently, until December, 1777, when he served one month under 
the command of Capt. Elijah Squire, also in the town of Newark, and from the 



io8 Sixth Generation: Line of Calebs Caleb* Francis 2 \ 

expiration of that term of service he took his regular tour of duty of one month 
every third month under different Captains, to wit., Capt. Caleb Wheeler, 

Reeves, Samuel Huntington, Elijah Squire, Thomas Williams, Josiah 

Pierson, Robert Nichols and Matthias Lyon, until the latter part of the year 1782, 
and between the different months of tours was at all times in readiness and obeyed 
every call upon him as a soldier and in fact insomuch that he was in actual ser- 
vice as a military man under the command of different officers nearly all the 
American Revolutionary war. That besides the Captains above named he was 
acquainted with and often under the command of Col. Van Courtlandt and Major 
Samuel Hays. James Hedden was Adjutant of the Battalion to which he belonged. 

That he was at the battles of Connecticut Farms and Springfield under Capt. 
Huntington, and followed the enemy each time to Elizabethtown, harassing 
them. That when the enemy came up from Elizabethtown, passed through 
Newark, Second River and to Hackensack, he was out doing duty with the regi- 
ment and was in the engagement at Second River with their regiment under 
Gen. Wines, with the enemy who had halted there during the night; that he fol- 
lowed them on to Hackensack and then returned with the regiment to Newark. 
That he was in repeated skirmishes with the enemy at the ferry near Newark and 
in particular recollects at least five skirmishes at that place. Recollects recap- 
turing at the ferry a number of cattle that the enemy had stolen and while en- 
deavoring to cross the Passaic River, stuck fast in the mud on the opposite side

He was in Capt. James Ewing's Company of Deerfield Militia in the Revo-

In 1805 he was a member of the Senate of New Jersey, the body at that time ' 
being known as the " Legislative Council." 

He lived at the north end of the town of Bridgeton. Elmer's " History of 
Cumberland County," page 42, states that ; ' Goose Hill got its name from a story 
that the owner of the farm opposite accused his neighbor, Abraham Sayre, of 
plucking feathers from his geese; and afterwards, w*hen some of his pigs went 
astray, he put up a poster, offering a reward, and hoping that Squire Sayre had n't 
mistaken them for geese, and pulled off the hair." 

A libel suit followed, which was afterwards settled by arbitration. This was in 
1810. 

In 1 8 14 he sold part of his farm on the east side of the main stream in 
Cohansey to parties who erected a dam for water-power. 

This land was subsequently reconveyed to Mr. Sayre, who built a flour-mill 
upon it. He died October 24, 1819.

of Union, Union County, N.' J., extending to the Rahway River, on both sides 
of the road leading from Connecticut Farms to Scotch Plains, and intersected by 
the road from Scudder's Mills to Cranford. 

He died intestate, prior to April 16, 1777, which is the date of deed from 
his son David to his brother William for share of his father's estate, in which ref- 
erence to his father's death is made. 

His eldest son, Nathaniel (according to the law of primogeniture then pre- 
vailing in New Jersey), became entitled to the landed estate. 

He, however, apportioned the land among his brothers, " in accordance with 
the wishes of his revered father," as stated in the deeds executed by him to his 
several brothers.

Swaine, daughter of Matthias and Catharine Swaine. 

His father died when he was an infant, and his mother married Jeremiah 
Ludlow, and they removed from Southampton to Elizabethtown, N. J., subse- 
quently settling in what is now New Providence Township, Union County, N. J., 
living between the mountains southwest of Springfield near Summit. 

He kept a tavern near Summit during the Revolution, in which it is stated 
General Washington was on more than one occasion entertained. 

" During the battle of Springfield, just below the first mountain, in 1780, many 
of the Continental soldiers made their quarters in this valley [Summit Township].

Here they could have a good view of the approach of the enemy under the com- 
mand of General Howe, with his six thousand regulars ; and Colonel Dayton's 
detachment lay near Westfield; while scouts lined the summit, bringing messages 
from General Washington, encamped with the American army near Morristown, 
some eight miles west. 

" Isaac Sayre's house was the resort of many of these foot-sore scouts, and there 
they found a welcome. 

" His wife, it is said, could not do too much for them. To her last day she 
recounted the fact that she had entertained General George Washington, and 
encouraged his men as they came to her mountain home, never turning them 
empty away. 

" The old homestead was, until recently, still standing on the road corner 
where the old red school-house stood." 

On August 21, 1804, the trustees of the M. E. Church of New Providence 
deeded to him and his son Anthony a tract of land of sixteen acres in that town, 
on the road from New Providence to Chatham (see Liber I, page 812, of deeds, 
Newark), sold by widow of Isaac, and Anthony, November 23, 1808.

that he was a brother of Isaac. He may have been the Ezekiel who was Lieuten- 
ant of the Monmouth County, N. J., Militia during the Revolution. About 1790 
he removed to Ohio in the vicinity of Cincinnati, locating a quarter section in 
Springfield Township, and later went to Reading, Hamilton County O.

used, and is overgrown with large trees. The tombstones are in a remarkably

good state of preservation, and the inscriptions very distinct. One of these stones 
is marked, " David Sayre, Esq., died April n, 1767, in the 47 th year of his age." 
Between the head and foot stones has grown a tree about a foot in diameter. 
This stone is doubtless in memory of David of the line here indicated. The title 
" Esq." probably indicates that he was a Justice of the Peace. In the " Annual 
Report of the State Historian of New York " (Vol. I, p. 524) is a list of troops 
from JCohansey in 17 15, under command of Lieutenant Thomas Maskell, and 
among them appear the names of David Sayre, and David Sayre, Jr., the grand- 
father and father of this David. 

207 THOMAS"' SAYRE. The Thomas ■"■ Sayre who appears as 118 on 
page 94 may have been the Thomas of this line.

may have been the James of this line. 

210 WILLIAM 5 SAYRE, born in Cohansey, Salem County, N. J., in 1729; 
married Mary Fithian (license granted May 25, 1762), who was probably born in 
Salem County, N. J., and died in 1809. 

He is said to have removed from New Jersey to Loudoun County, Va., where 
he was a farmer, and later to Pennsylvania. It is claimed that he was a soldier 
of the Revolution and the William Sayre referred to below. 

Volume X, " Colonial Records of Pennsylvania," p. 756, under head of 
"Minutes, of the Council of Safety " held at Philadelphia, October 16, 1776, a 
resolution was passed that the following officers be appointed in the Twelfth Bat- 
talion of Foot to be raised in this State for Continental service, commanded by 
Colonel William Cooke, viz.: 

First Lieutenants, 

William Sayre. 

"Pennsylvania Archives," Volume X, second series, pp. 757, 758: "12th 
Penn. Reg. Congress authorized this regiment to be raised in the counties of 
Northampton and Northumberland." The latter county at that time (1776) em- 
braced a very large territory, reaching as far west as Beaver County, south to 
Allegheny County, and north to Lake Erie. 

The greater portion of the regiment was recruited on the west branch of the 
Susquehanna, and on December 18 it left Sunbury for the battle-fields of New 
Jersey. It was with Brigadier-General Thomas Conway, brigade headquarters, at 
Five Cross Roads at Metuchen, between Quibbletown and Amboy. Engaged at 
Bonnel Brook April 12, 1777, and Piscataway May 10, where Joseph Lorentz and 
twenty-one others were made prisoners by the British. ... In the battle of 
Brandywine the Twelfth was engaged; also at Germantown. April 12, 1778, the 
Twelfth was incorporated with the Third Regiment. On p. 760, under " Roster 
of field and staff officers," appears :

died August 12, 1822. He was originally a farmer in Orange County, N. Y., and 
was overseer of highways in Warwick. About the close of the century he re- 
moved to Deckertown, N. J., and at the time of his death, August 5, 1813, kept 
a hotel at that place. The house is still standing. 

As a local paper, in a history of the town, expressed it, he " seemed to have 
set out to literally own Deckertown." In 1801 he bought fifty acres of land, and 
during the next dozen years purchased hundreds of acres in the town and vicinity. 
" He lived in a stone house, built by Samuel Decker, which stood upon what is 
now the Loomis farm." At his death he left what was considered in those days 
a fortune to his children. They applied to the courts for a partition of his real 
estate among them. The court appointed commissioners, who filed their report 
February 16, 1814, making division among the children.

in Columbia, N. J. Rachel Meeker died a widow, February 19, 1800, in the 
eighty-third year of her age, and was buried in the Presbyterian churchyard at 
Madison, N. J. 

Ephraim Sayre was a farmer and tanner, and was an esteemed deacon in the 
Presbyterian church at Bottle Hill (now Madison, N. J.). He is said to have 



138 Sixth Generation : Line of Daniel? Daniel? J oseph 2 

been a minute-man in the Revolution, and to have participated in the battles at 
Connecticut Farms, at Springfield and at Monmouth. 

His house at Bottle Hill, of which a view is given, is still standing, and has 
been in continuous possession of his descendants. A Morristown journal, Septem- 
ber 29, 1890, contained the following: 

" One of the most noted landmarks of the Borough of Madison is the old 
Sayre Mansion on Ridgedale Avenue. It was built about the year 1745 by Daniel 
Sayre, who had removed to Bottle Hill from Elizabethtown. During the Revo- 
lution it was owned and occupied by his son, Deacon Ephraim Sayre, who was a 
man of the noblest character, both as a Christian and a patriot. 

''Deacon Sayre was always ready not only to yield to the constant demands 
upon him made necessary by the presence of the army, but to throw open his 
house to the men whenever their comfort required. Some of the wounded of the 
battle of Springfield were here cared for, the kitchen being used as a hospital ; and 
at times the hospitality of the proprietor's table was freely enjoyed by both officers 
and soldiers. 

"The house was the headquarters of General Anthony Wayne for a consider- 
able part of the time that the army was in this neighborhood (the winter of 
1780-81). The room occupied by the General was the front room in the north 
end, and in it many conferences took place between 'Mad Anthony' and the 
other illustrious commanders. 

" General Washington and his staff were frequently in the house, as they 
were then located at Morristown; and the chair in which the General sat is 
still preserved, and many other pieces of antique furniture are cherished in this 
house. 

" Rev. James Caldwell, of patriotic memory and Revolutionary fame, whose 
wife's mother was a Sayre, was a warm personal friend of Deacon Sayre. He 
preached in Bottle Hill as often as his other duties permitted, the announcement 
that he would do so being always sufficient to attract a large number of hearers ; 
and on these occasions the Sayre mansion was frequently used for the services. 
The south front room is the one in which the ' Fighting Domine ' of Springfield 
preached, and the very spot where he then stood, in the southwest corner of the 
room, is pointed out. And in -this room, for some years, the regular weekly 
prayer-meetings of the church were held. 

" This devoted man, it will be remembered, was shot by a sentinel at Elizabeth- 
town Point, it being popularly supposed at the time to be at the instigation of the 
enemy or their sympathizers. 

" When the news of the murder of Parson Caldwell (his wife having previously 
been killed at Connecticut Farms) reached Deacon Sayre, he got up his team, 
went to Elizabethtown and took Mr. Caldwell's six orphan children to his own 
house, where he took care of them until they were permanently provided for else- 
where. They were under his roof at least three months, and learned during that 
time to greatly love and reverence their benefactor. 

" Here Baxter Sayre, the famous abolitionist, spent his early years ; and to this 
home of his childhood the philanthropist David A. Sayre, of Lexington, Ky., 
used to return at intervals with great delight. 

" So memories of old-time patriotism, hospitality, religious zeal, and self-sacrifice 
cluster around this old homestead and make it holy ground. 

"The present owner (1900), Mr. Joseph M. Sayre, is the great-grandson of the 
good old Deacon, and cherishes the old mansion and its associations with a true 
patriotic reverence."

The following article was written for the " St. Louis Presbyterian," and pub- 
lished by request. It is a copy from the newspaper clipping now (February, 1895) 
in possession of D. F. Sayre, Esq., Fulton, Wisconsin. Evidence shows it to 
have been undoubtedly written by Rev. J. G. Bergen, pastor of the Madison, 
N. J., Presbyterian church. 

The reverse side of the clipping shows that it was published in 1856 (during 
the Fremont and Dayton campaign), in a Morristown, N. J., newspaper : 

I found the church of Madison to consist of about two hundred members, 
two hundred families, and over twelve hundred souls. It had a strong and able 
bench of Elders, on whom I could lean for prayer, counsel and aid; and an 
active Board of Trustees, who relieved me from the burden of worldly concerns. 

Ephraim Sayre, a man of about seventy years, strongly marked with what in 
that part of the country was technically called " mother wit," stood at the head 
of the eldership* and from his laconic remarks I learned more of practical pas- 
toral wisdom than from any other man. He was a frank-speaking man — out 
with his first thoughts — which, in him, as in most men of his temperament, were 
ordinarily his best thoughts. Sometimes he was too dogmatical with his brother 
elders, on which occasions he would close with his last argument, " at any rate, 
I am the oldest and ought to know best"; this he often would deliver with so 
much seriousness as to make it gravely amusing. 

He was a man whose piety and hospitality were strongly marked. His house 
had long been called " the minister's tavern." It was the first I had entered in 
that congregation. He was the deacon through whom Dr. Finley had introduced 
me to the people; and on account of his plainness of manners I had greatly mis- 
judged him on first sight. It was at his house I spent two weeks solus, in my 
first winter among that people, my young companion being at her father's house 
in Monmouth ; doubtless, as the day approached when I expected to go for her. 
my pleasurable anticipations were strongly expressed ; and as I took my seat in 
the gig the old gentleman said : " If you should lose your wife, you would n't 
miss her so much as I would if I were to lose mine." I took the reins, saying to 
myself, " Strange, strange. How can a man that was once young make such a re- 
mark ? " But the longer my companion was spared to me the more I subscribed 
to the sentiment of the elder; and now that, after forty years' companionship it has 
pleased God to call me to the trial, I acknowledge the truth and wisdom of the 
remark, while I endeavor to bow in submission. 

He was a warm-hearted Christian, sure to be at the prayer-meeting, and 
when there, in the spirit of prayer, with deep and humble confession of sin, 
thankful acknowledgment of God's mercies, and fervent supplication for the 
young, often accompanied with overflowing tears which would induce him on 
some occasions to say, " My friends, pardon me; I know it is a weakness; I know 
there is no religion in tears, yet I thank God I can weep." 

In revivals of religion he used to say to young converts who were in the em- 
ploy of others : "Remember your time belongs to your employers; don't give 
them occasion to say you neglect your duty or business to them by your constant 
going to meetings or late staying. Rise earlier, work more diligently; one duty 
must not crowd out another; don't give occasion to the wicked to reproach your 
religion." 

In his latter days he became very deaf, so that he could scarcely hear any- 
thing in the sanctuary ; and yet, as long as he was able, he filled his place, and 
said he would go if he could not hear a word, for it was God's house, God's 
ordinance, and he liked to be there. 



140 Sixth Generation : Line of Daniel? Daniel? Joseph 2 

In his last long confinement he used to say : " Bless God for my eyes " — the 
Bible was his constant companion, but his memory was almost gone with his 
hearing, and he would say : " At any rate, \ feed as I go along." 

When I stood by the bedside of that dying, good man, and when to a mourn- 
ing church I preached his funeral sermon 'midst a vast concourse of people from 
the surrounding country, I felt, in some measure, as the sons of the prophet did 
as they exclaimed when Elijah was removed from their sight : " My father ! my 
father! the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof! "

records say that Ephraim Sayre married Mary Davis, June 30, 1762. Probably 
Mary Davis was a widow and her maiden name was Meeker. She died August 

7, 1797, in her fifty-eighth year. He married again, Jane , who died 

December 19, 1823, in her seventy-ninth year. Littell, in mentioning the sons of 
Ephraim (89), omits this son. His identity as a brother of David (268) and 

William (271) is demonstrated by a comparis^ of the : "res of the latter as 

they appear on the records at Trenton, where William witnesses his brother 
David's will in 1776, acts as executor of his brother Eph s will in 1804, and 

signs his own will in 1823, the three signatures being evident)) by the same hand.

274 JOHN' SAYRE, born June 4, 1738, at 58 Broad Street, New York 
City; married, in Philadelphia, September 28, 1758, Mary Bowes, daughter of 
Francis Bowes and Rachel Chevalier, who was born in Trenton, N. J., March 5, 
1739. ^he was ms stepsister, his father having married her mother April 8' 
1 75 1 ; her first husband died in Philadelphia, December 3, 1749. 

He was educated at King's (now Columbia) College, N. Y., and became a 
clergyman of the Episcopal Church. 

Rev. Rufus Emery, of Newburgh, N. Y., in an address delivered January 13, 
1892, in Christ Church, Warwick, N. Y., thus speaks of Mr. Sayre : 

Two years after the death of Mr. Watkins — that is, in 1767 — the Rev. John 
Sayer was appointed by the society to the Newburgh Mission and parts adjacent. 
Mr. Sayer did not live in Newburgh, but back in the country, at a place called 
Bellomont, preaching alternately at Newburgh, Otterkill, and Wallkill. He ob- 
tained charters for three parishes, St. George's in the county of Ulster, St. Andrew's 
in the precinct of Wallkill, and St. David's in the county of Orange. The charter 
of St. George's is now in the possession of that Parish, that of St. Andrew's is 
entered on the Parish Record, both bearing date July 30, 1770, and that of St. 
David's is recorded in the office of Secretary of State at Albany, in the Book of 
Patents, dated July 31, 1770. Mr. Sayer did not confine his labors to his three 
stations, for he says in a letter to the Society in 1773 that he "officiates at War- 
wick, a place 20 miles from his residence, once a month on week-days, and 
once in three months on Sundays, though it be no part of his mission, and that 



Sixth Generation : Line of John? Daniel? Joseph 2 143 

he reads prayers and preaches on week-days in many distant parts of the mission, 
for the sake of the aged and infirm, and for the purpose of capturing the children 
of the poor." 

Mr. Sayer was a physician as well as a priest, a popular preacher, and a 
devoted churchman. In 1773 Mr. Sayer suddenly left his mission, leaving every- 
thing in disorder and confusion. The cause of his leaving is now unknown, un- 
less his subsequent action may suggest an explanation. He was an ardent 
loyalist, and probably had no sympathy with the ideas and feelings which were 
prominent around him. He was transferred from this mission to Fairfield, Conn., 
where he served till the invasion of General Tryon in 1779, when he reported to 
the Society that he had retired within the king's lines. He went to New York and 
afterwards to Nova Scotia, where he died. The Rev. Philo Sheldon, in a manu- 
script history of Trinity Church, Fairfield, Conn., says of the Rev. John Sayer, 
that he was a man of superior ability, a great preacher, rather inclined to Calvin- 
istic principles, but a high Tory 

In this imperfect outline of the early missions and missionaries of our arch- 
deaconry, three persons stand eminent : the laborious Watkins, 1 the active and 
brilliant Sayer, and the zealous and self-sacrificing Brown. One laid the founda- 
tions, the other built on them strongly and well, the last restored the waste places 
and repaired the desolations of former years. They are worthy of our respect and 
honor. They were faithful servants of the church, worthy followers of her great 
Head and Master. Though dead, yet now they speak, resting from their labors, 
and their works do follow them. 

When the British, under Tryon, burned the town of Fairfield, Conn., Rev. John 
Sayre was rector of Trinity Episcopal church in the town. From " An Histori- 
cal Discourse" delivered in Trinity Church by its rector, August 10, 1851, we 
take this extract : 

One week after Tryon burned Fairfield, July 8, 1779, tne P astor °f the Con- 
gregational church in that town wrote to a friend that " Mr. Sayre, the Church 
of England missionary, begged the General to spare the town, but was denied. 
He then begged that some few houses might be spared as a shelter for those who 
could provide habitations nowhere else; this was denied also." The whole town 
was burned, and with it the parsonage, the dwelling of Mr. Sayre, and he found 
himself in a moment with his wife and eight small children entirely destitute of 
everything except the garments in which they were clad. Under such circum- 
stances he sought a shelter for his family on board the British fleet, but without 
any pledge of protection, or any promise of help or assistance from the com- 
mander of the expedition, and went to New York, then in possession of the 
British army. There he remained several months, recruiting his health and 
strength, which had been seriously impaired. Afterwards he frequently assisted 
his brethren who had charge of the parishes of Jamaica, Newtown, Flushing and 
Huntington on Long Island. 

After the Revolution Mr. John Sayre was one of fifty-five petitioners for 
a grant of land in Nova Scotia. In October, 1783, he went to St. John, New 
Brunswick, and obtained a grant, receiving what was known as No. 56 Dock 
Street. 

He was appointed by Lord Dorchester one of the agents of the govern- 
ment to locate land grants. He afterwards moved to Maugerville, on the St.

nephew, James Pagan Sayre, writing in 1816, says that he was in the East 
India Company's service, and had been last heard of in 1814, when he was 
seen by a friend in the island of St. Helena, where he had command of a small 
fort ; but that since the island had become the residence of Bonaparte the 
E. I. Co.'s troops had been withdrawn. It is clear from other letters that 
Cadwallader Sayre returned to New Brunswick in 181 7. He was probably 
never married.

He received the degree of A.M. from King's College (now Columbia), N. Y., 
in 1774. The following is a copy of a letter written by him to his sister, Mrs. 
Esther Atlee (275), of Lancaster, which is of interest. It is somewhat mutilated 
by age. 

Philad 3 - Dec. 14 th 1774. 
My dear Hetty : 

I am glad of this early oppty. of informing you that by the Divine Mercy 
& Protection I am safely returned hither, everything having succeeded for my 
design in crossing the Water. 

You must easily imagine that the joy natural to my Return was damped by 
the account of the loss of our dear Mother. But our grief in such cases ought 
ever to be checked with the Consideration of the gain of the (for a time) loss to 
us. I hope that in this, as in every other situation, we . . . behave with a be- 
coming Resign . . . infinitely wise & good Dis . . . 

I need not tell you, irksome as it is to my private & natural Feelings, to go 
away, before I visit you & yours. But, unless I arrive at my place of Destina- 
tion before Christmas, I cannot get there, with some necessary things, before 
Spring, as the Boat cannot ply on the North River when the Season is further 
advanced, & I cannot answer neglecting my Charge for so long a Time. You 
know that I am not my own. I could wish to tell you several things, but per- 
haps I should not be able to tell you anything new, except some very valuable 
new Friends which were raised up for me in that (to me) strange Land . . . 
whom I cannot forbear . . . just mention . . . amiable Lady Juliana . . . Penn. 
And I request you to acknowledge for me my obligation to Mr. Barton, for his 
Interduction of me to a Person, who exceeded the opinion (pretty much raised, 
too) which I had preconceived of her. I must defer more till it shall please our 
Master to permit us to meet; which (with his Permission) I shall endeavor to 
procure as soon as possible. I am extremely hurried indeed — arrived the Day 
before yesterday after nine weeks from London & stormy, uneasy Passage, for my 
prefer . . . thro which, I beg you to add your T ... to mine where due — to set 
out next ... I have (perhaps) to prepare a Sermon . . . day, & above two thirds 
of my Friends here ... to visit. Adieu for this Time ... & kiss my little Son & 
the rest for me. Your affect. Bro. 

(Signed) Ja s - Sayre. 

He organized the Episcopal church in Newburgh. He was chaplain of one 
of De Lancey's battalions, but, "impelled by distress, severity of treatment, and 
by duty." he resigned in 1777. From 1777 to 1783 he was rector in Brooklyn, 
N. Y. From the annals of Trinity Church, Newport, R. I., we extract the 
following : 

On Aug. 27, 1786, at a meeting of the congregation after divine service, it was 
voted that the Rev. James Sayre, who hath performed the services of the church 
this day, be accepted and settled as our minister, and that he be paid as a salary 
^100 sterling money per annum, to commence upon his arrival at Newport. 
. . . Oct. 1, 1786, Rev. Mr. Sayre hath, this day, arrived.

married first, ; married second, Abby . He lived in Warwick, Orange 

County, N. Y., when the Revolution broke out, and received a commission as 
lieutenant, as appears by the official document given below, which is on file in 
the Pension Office in Washington, D. C. His name appears on the Assessment 
Roll of Warwick, N. Y., September, 1775. He lived ten or twelve years in Eliz- 
abethtown after the war, and subsequently in Hector, Tompkins County, N. Y., 
about twenty years. 

He died June 16, 1841, in the ninety-fourth year of his age.

Nathan Sayre, an applicant for a pension under the act of Congress of 
June 7th, 1832, being duly sworn according to law, maketh oath and saith in 
addition to what he has set forth in his declaration which is on file in the Office 
of the Secretary of War, that his commission as Lt. in Capt. Wisner's company 
was granted by authority of the Provincial Congress of New York, but by whom 



Sixth Generation : Line of Joseph* Daniel? Joseph J 153 

it was signed he cannot now recollect. But he well recollects that his commission 
was burned. 

That in December, 1776, while the British army was in New Jersey, and 
about the time Gen. Lee was taken, declarant, having a brother in New Jersey, 
went from Orange County in New York into New Jersey to see what had become 
of his said brother, and finally found him at the house of his father-in-law, about 
two miles from Elizabethtown in New Jersey. 

The British army, or a part thereof, was then lying at Elizabethtown. De- 
clarant had his commission as Lt. in his pocket, and in anticipation of being 
taken prisoner by the British and recognized as an American officer he was ad- 
vised to, and did, burn his said commission at the house of Effingham Townley, 
father-in-law of his said brother. 

At the time declarant first entered the service in the fall of 1775, as mentioned 
in his declaration now on file in the Office of the Secretary of War, he lived in 
Warwick, in the County of Orange, New York, and orders came (but from what 
source he does not recollect) to raise a company of minute men for four months ; 
that declarant with others volunteered, and after the company was filled they pro- 
ceeded to elect their officers. John Wisner was elected Capt., George Luckey, 
Lt., David Armstrong, Ensign, Joseph Beckwith, Orderly Sergt., and declarant, 
2nd Sergt. Declarant supposes that those who were designated as commissioned 
officers received commissions, but this fact he does not certainly know. That in 
a few days after said company was raised they had orders to march to New 
Windsor, and marched there and was billeted out upon the inhabitants of New 
Windsor and Newburg a month or two — does not now recollect precisely how 
long. They were then ordered to Ft. Constitution, on the Hudson River oppo- 
site West Point, where they remained in service the residue of their term of ser- 
vice of four months, according to declarant's best recollection and belief. He is 
not now certain that he served the whole of the residue of his term of four months 
at Fort Constitution, but he knows that he served the whole of his term of four 
months out, was discharged at the end of this term of four months and returned 
home. Col. Isaac Nichols commanded at Fort Constitution while declarant was 
there. 

In the month of April, 1776, another company of minute men was raised in 
Warwick aforesaid, in manner aforesaid, and declarant again volunteered and was 
elected and commissioned Lieutenant in said Company, John Wisner, Captain, 
and Asa Wisner, Ensign. Soon after said company was raised they marched to 
Fort Constitution aforesaid and remained there in service until their term of four 
months was out. In this service declarant was out and served as Lieutenant 
four months as stated in his declaration now on file in the Office of the Secretary 
of War. At the end of the four months he was discharged and went home. 
Col. Nichols still commanded at Fort Constitution. While declarant was at Fort 
Constitution during this service he was engaged the most of the time with others 
in collecting materials and fixing the Fort. Declarant well recollects that he was 
out in this service and at Fort Constitution at the time American independence 
was declared. 

Late in December, 1776, or early in January, 1777, declarant still living in 
Warwick aforesaid, there was an alarm and Col. Hathorn's regiment of mili- 
tia, to which declarant belonged, was ordered out, and declarant marched with 
said regiment and was out in this service three weeks or more. In this service 
declarant served as Lieutenant, although this was after his commission was burned. 
When the regiment was mustered they marched to Closter (in New Jersey, as 
declarant thinks) ;, the object in marching to Closter was as declarant then un- 
derstood to watch the movements of the British then lying at Hackensack. They 



154 Sixth Generation : Line of Joseph* Daniel? Joseph - 

stayed at Closter until the British left Hackensack and were discharged and 
returned home. 

When declarant made his declaration, which is now on file in the office- of the 
Secretary of War, he was called on by Judge Halsey, through the instrumentality 
of one of his kind neighbors, unexpectedly, and being old, infirm, and forgetful, 
he omitted to state some services which he was in. Sometime in the Summer of 
1777, Col. Hath'orn's regiment was ordered out on an alarm and declarant turned 
out with said regiment and was out in the service this time at least two weeks; 
in this tour he served as Lieutenant. They marched from Warwick to Fort 
Montgomery on the Hudson River. While lying at Fort Montgomery news 
came that the British were at Haverstraw committing depredations, and Capt. 
Thomas Moffit beat for volunteers to go with him to Haverstraw, and declarant, 
with a number of others turned out and went to Haverstraw under the said Capt. 
Moffit; staid there a short time, returned to Fort Montgomery and were dis- 
charged with the rest of the regiment and returned home. Declarant cannot now 
recollect the precise time this service was rendered, but perfectly well recollects 
rendering this service and thinks it was in the summer of 1777. 

Soon after the alarm last mentioned Col. Hathorn's Regt. was again ordered 
out on an alarm and declarant turned out with said regiment and was out this 
time as much as two weeks, and also served as Lieut. They marched from 
Warwick to Ramapo in Rockland County ; declarant thinks they staid at Ramapo 
until they were discharged and returned home. Declarant cannot recollect the 
exact time of this alarm but perfectly well recollects being out on this occasion 
and thinks it was at the time mentioned. 

In the early part of October, 1777, Col, Hathorn's regiment was again called 
out and declarant turned out with said regiment and was out on this tour more 
than two weeks, and served as Lt. They marched from Warwick intending to 
go to the relief of Ft. Montgomery, but before they reached that Fortress they 
received information that the Fort was taken by the British. On receiving this 
information they altered their course and marched to Little Britain, in Orange 
County; staid there a short time and was then and there ordered to guard about 
forty, he thinks forty-two, wagons loaded with arms for the American Army, from 
that place to Easton in Penns. After performing this service they returned home 
to Warwick and were then discharged. 

In Sept., 1778 (according to declarant's best recollection), Col. Hathorn's 
regiment was again ordered out on an alarm and declarant marched with said 
regiment to Peramus in the capacity of Lt., remained there two weeks and was 
dismissed and returned home. 

In July, 1779, when Stony Point was taken, Col. Hathorn's regiment was 
again called out to take charge of the prisoners taken at that Fortress and march 
them into New Jersey. Declarant turned out with said regiment and marched 
as a guard for said prisoners into New Jersey. On this occasion he served as 
Lt. and was out in this service one week. 

In January, 1780, declarant left Warwick and went to Elizabethtown in New 
Jersey, and remained there until some years after the close of the Revolutionary 
war. Soon after he arrived at Elizabethtown a company of cavalry was raised 
and organized for the express purpose of preventing the British and refugees from 
coming over on the ice from Staten Island and plundering the inhabitants of 
property and in some instances taking off" the inhabitants themselves. By whose 
orders or by what authority this company was raised he cannot tell, but he then 
understood and believed that it was raised by order of the Continental officer 
who had the command of the Continental troops then at Elizabethtown, but he 
does not recollect who this officer was. 



Sixth Generation: Line of Joseph * Daniel? Joseph' 1 155 

Capt. Win. Crane had the command of this company, and declarant enlisted 
and served in it as a private one month, and found his own horse, equipage and 
rations. This company was composed principally of men living in and near 
Elizabethtown for the particular reason as declarant understood and believed that 
the duty to be performed by them was to prevent the enemy from crossing on the 
ice from Staten Island in the night and plundering the inhabitants and taking off 
property and persons and to give the alarm in case they should cross; such men 
being better acquainted with the crossing places, passes, roads, etc., than others 
who did not live in that region of the country. One half of this company rode 
one night and the other the next ; declarant serving every other night and in this 
way alternating through the month. At the expiration of this month it was found 
that the depredations of the enemy were so completely suppressed by this means, 
and the ice still continuing to be crossable, it was ordered that a light company 
should be raised for another month for the like service under the same Capt. 
Crane, and declarant supposed, and still supposes, by the same authority as the 
first. Declarant enlisted into this company for one month and in like manner 
found his own horse, equipage, and rations, and served this month out in the 
same manner as the first. 

One reason declarant had, and still has, for believing that Capt. Crane's com- 
pany was raised and served directly or indirectly by order of the Continental 
officer then in command of Elizabethtown, is that he well recollects that every 
other night through the whole of both months' service, when declarant was on 
duty, they went from Elizabethtown Point and other places where they were 
riding the most of the night, about the middle of the night, to the quarters of the 
Continental officer who had the command of the Continental troops then on duty 
as guard at Elizabethtown, for the purpose of reporting to him anything which 
might have happened to any of them and what discoveries, if any, they may have 
made respecting the enemy, and to warm them, the weather being extremely cold. 
After making a report and warming themselves a short time again returned and 
remained on duty until daylight in the morning and then made a like report to 
the same officer. Another reason declarant had and still has for believing that 
this company was raised and served by order of the officer then in command of that 
• station, or some Continental officer, is, that declarant was paid for his services, 
rations, &c. wholly in Continental money by the said Capt. Crane, and then un- 
derstood and believed and still believes that Capt. Crane received the same money 
from some of the Continental officers then at Elizabethtown. 

Declarant was acquainted with Capt. Crane before the Revolutionary war and 
after declarant returned to Elizabethtown in Jan., 1780, he was intimately 
acquainted with him until near his death, now not far from twenty years ago. 
Capt. Crane and many other persons have frequently told declarant and he verily 
believes it to be true, that Capt. Crane was in the expedition to Canada under 
Gen. Montgomery, and he thinks Crane acted as Lt. in that expedition but is not 
certain. Crane was wounded in the leg in that expedition as declarant always 
understood and believed and now believes, declarant having frequently seen the 
wound which Crane said he received in that expedition. Capt. Crane, previous 
to his death, was obliged to have this leg taken off. Declarant once saw him 
after he had his leg taken off. Capt. Crane, some time after Jan., 1780, was 
appointed a Col. of militia. 

About the seventh of June, 1780, at the time the British burned Connecticut 
Farms and Springfield, declarant then living at Elizabethtown, there was an 
alarm and declarant turned out and served as private under Capt. Obadiah 
Meeker in his company of cavalry, and was out on this service two weeks or 
more. In this service they were marched to Springfield and continued at and 



156 Sixth Generation: Line of Joseph* Daniel? Joseph' 1 

near Springfield watching the movements of the enemy until after it was burned, 
and was then discharged and went home to Elizabethtown. 

Some time in the month of August, 1780, declarant performed a tour of 
service as a private under the same Capt. Meeker at Elizabethtown. At this 
time the British were still on Staten Island, and the militia in and about Eliza- 
bethtown were called on to keep guard at Elizabethtown and declarant was called 
on and turned out and was in this service half a month. 

In stating his second tour of service under Col. Hathorn, when Ft. Mont- 
gomery was taken, declarant stated in his declaration now on file in the Office of 
the Secretary of War that he was out in this service three weeks, but after having 
more time for reflection on the subject and recollecting some facts that took place 
about that time, he is convinced he was out only sixteen days, and has accord- 
ingly stated it in this supplementary declaration to be at least two weeks. 

Declarant now lives at Hector, in the County of Tompkins and State of New 
York, about ten miles from Judge DeMott's, a Judge of the Court of Common 
Pleas in and for the County of Seneca, and from where declarant lives to the 
nearest judge (now at home) in the said County of Tompkins, is about twenty-two 
miles, and declarant being old and infirm it is a great convenience for him to 
make this supplemental declaration before the said Judge DeMott instead of 
making it before a Judge of Tompkins County, and this is the reason of declar- 
ant making it before a Judge residing out of the County in which he resides. 1

303 ABRAHAM 5 SAYRE was born at Southampton, L. I., February 5, 
1745, and married Mehitable Howell, daughter of Abner and Eunice Fithian 
Howell, who was born May 24, 1751, and died January 21, 1820. 

He belonged to the First Regiment of Minute-men of Suffolk County during

The following obituary appeared in a Bridgeport paper : 

George Rogers Howell, one of Albany's best-known and 
respected citizens, died in that city on April 5, succumbing to 
typhoid pneumonia. Mr. Howell was born in Southampton, 
L. I. He graduated from Yale College, and later entered the 
Theological Seminary at Princeton, N. J., from which he grad- 
uated in 1864. He engaged in ministerial work in western 
New York for about two years. In 1865, on the recommenda- 
tion of Dr. Macauley, secretary of one of the Presbyterian 
boards at Philadelphia, Mr. Howell was offered a professorship 
of Latin or Greek, at his option, in a college in Iowa. His 
engagements forbade his accepting the offer. A short time 
after his declination of the professorship, the presidency of the 
college was offered him, but this, too, he declined. In 1872, 
at the suggestion of Dr. S. B. Woolworth, he was induced to 
accept an office in the State library as librarian. In this office 
Mr. Howell rendered the State valuable service. His early study 
of many languages stood him in good stead in the classifica- 
tion, cataloguing, and arranging of the many volumes in the 
general library. His suggestions with regard to the purchase 
of suitable and desirable volumes have been very useful in the 
development of the resources of the library. For several 
years Mr. Howell was the secretary of the Albany Institute, in 
the welfare of which he took a deep interest. He read several 
valuable papers on scientific subjects before the institution, 
some of which have been published in the "Transactions of 
the Albany Institute," including " Linguistic Discussions," 
" The Open Polar Sea," and " Heraldry in America." He 
wrote a " History of Southampton, L. I.," containing the 
genealogies of nearly all the old families there [which has been 



Sixth Generation : Line of ' A T e hernia h? Job? Job' 1 161 

of invaluable service in the compilation of the present volume]. 
In addition to his works on scientific and literary subjects, Mr. 
Howell wrote an- amusing book entitled "Noah's Log Book,'"' 
that gained for him much favorable criticism. He was em- 
ployed in the library for twenty-seven years, until his death. 
He leaves a widow, Mrs. Mary Seymour Howell, a popular 
lecturer, and one sister, Mrs. E. H. Harrington (now living 
on Ivy street, this city), who lias resided in Bridgeport for 
many years.

304 JAMES 5 SAYRE, born in Southampton, N. Y., July 3, 1748, married 
May 18, 1780, at New Windsor, N. Y., Elizabeth Howell, daughter of Jedediah 
Howell. The latter was born in Southampton, and removed to Blooming Grove, 
where he bought a farm July 2, 1782, and where he died in 1795. He signed as 
bondsman for the marriage license of his brother at Southampton, N. Y., Septem- 
ber 29, 1777. 

There were several James Say res who lived near each other in Orange County 
about the time of the Revolution, and it has been quite difficult to identify posi- 
tively each as he appears in various records. 

The following permit, which is copied from pages 512-513 of the "Public 
Papers of George Clinton," published as Vol. Ill of the " Report of the State 
Historian, New York," date not given, but probably about 1777, appears to show 
without question that this James who married P^hzabeth Howell was the person 
referred to in the permit, and that he left Long Island after it had fallen into pos- 
session of the British, and became a resident of Orange County : 

" Mr. James Sayre, a Refugee from Long Island, having left at his former 
place of abode household furniture and other property which he is desirous of 
bringing off, is hereby permitted to pass to Long Island and return, for the above 
purpose. 

" This permission is not to be considered as a license to bring off from the 
Island any articles for the purpose of traffic ; and, as he must necessarily pass 
through the State of Connecticut, it is recommended to him to apply to his Ex- 
cellency, Governor Trumbull, for his approbation of the measure."

A James Sayre was First Lieutenant of Captain Woodhull's Company of Light 
Horse, Orange County, N. Y., from July, 1776, to January, 1777. 

The following items on the records at Goshen doubtless refer to this James : 

Deed dated Nov. 5, 1782, James Sayre of Blooming Grove buys of John 
Alsop 515 acres of land at Blooming Grove for 2500 Spanish milled dollars. 
June 3, 1783, James Sayre and his wife Elizabeth convey part of the above tract 
to Barnabas Horton. April 2, 1787, James Sayre and his wife Elizabeth convey 
part of above tract. Dec. 17, 1790, James Sayre, of New Cornwall, gave a mort- 
gage to Martha Herrick, of Southampton, N. Y., which was satisfied Mar. 31, 1813. 

He died September 21, 1807. His will, recorded in Goshen (Liber D, folio 64), 
dated February 10, 1807, was probated December 1, 1807. 

He had probably given portions to several of his sons before death, as his will 
divided his estate into four parts only : one quarter to each of the three sons 
Jedediah Howell, Gabriel and Israel, and one quarter to his unmarried daughters, 
Clarissa Howell Sayre and Elizabeth Sayre. His sons Horace G., Oliver C. and 
Jedediah Howell were named as executors, and his son John Alsop signed as witness.

308 JAMES 5 SAYRE, born in Goshen, N. Y., March 2, 1750 ; married Mercy 
Seely, daughter of Jonas Seely, who was born August 6, 1754, and died August 
10, 1805. 

He was a farmer residing at Sugar Loaf, near Goshen, Orange County, N. Y. 
He was a soldier of the Revolution in the First Regiment of the Line from Orange 
County. With his widowed mother, brothers Ebenezer and John, and sister 
Julianna, he removed to Chemung County in 1792, living in the village of New- 
town, six miles south of Elmira, on the Chemung River, for a year; and then 
bought a farm of several hundred acres at Horseheads, six miles north of Elmira. 

Ausburn Towner's " History of the Valley and County of Chemung," p. 45, 
says: 

Two brothers by the name of Seely became contractors for the government 
to furnish supplies to the army in the war of 1776. Through the depreciation of 
Continental money they lost all their property, together with the sureties which 
belonged to their brothers-in-law, James, Ebenezer and John Sayre. The Seely 
brothers again began working at their home in Orange County and when they had 
sufficient money to pay three shillings per acre for land they purchased about 800 
acres in Chemung County where the village of Horseheads now stands. This 
land was given to the Sayre brothers as part payment in compensation for the 
loss they had sustained in 1792. The Sayre brothers, in company with their 
brother-in-law, Jonathan Conkling, and their aged mother, came to the Chemung 
valley and took possession of this property. James, the father of James, Jonas 
and Matthew, settled where the Hon. Jonas Van Duzer now resides. . . . James 
and Ebenezer had been soldiers in the Revolutionary war. 

James Sayre was a man of considerable wealth for those early days, having 
large farms and dairies. He kept three shepherds to tend his flock. 

The spinning women came and spent the winter spinning all the flax and wool 
used by the large family. 

He had sawmills and grist-mills. He died June 4, 1826. He left a large 
estate to his sons, and gave his daughters each $300.

309 JOB 5 SAYRE, born in Goshen, Orange County, N. Y., February 28, 
1758; married January 4, 1779, Hannah Tuthill, who was born February 26, 1759, 
and died December 15, 18 18. 

He was Trustee of the Presbyterian Church of Blooming Grove at its organ- 
ization, April 19, 1806. 

He owned a farm about two miles north of Oxford, Orange County, N. Y. 

He was Assessor, Overseer of Highways, and Overseer of the Poor in 
Blooming Grove from 1796 to 1816; and was Third Supervisor of same place, 
holding that office from 1805 to 1810. 

His will, dated July n, 1840, is recorded at Goshen, December 6, 1845, in 
Liber N, folio 374. 

Under the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832, for pensioning Revolutionary 
soldiers, he received a pension which continued until his death, November 18, 

1845. 

The following is a copy of the application for pension, on file in the Pension 

Office in Washington, D. C. 

State of New York ) 

> ss. 
County of Orange ^ 

On this 27th day of May, in the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and 
Thirty-three, personally appeared in open Court before the Court of Common 
Pleas, now sitting, (being a Court of Record), JOB SAYRE, a resident of the 
town of Blooming Grove, County of Orange and State of New York, aforesaid, 
aged seventy-five years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his 
oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of 
Congress passed June 7th, 1832. 

That he entered the service of the United States under the following named 
officers and served as herein stated : 

That in 1775 he volunteered under Capt. Thomas Moffat of Blooming Grove 
aforesaid ; that he did not volunteer for any stated period of time. He marched 
from Blooming Grove through the aforesaid County of Orange to New Windsor, 
on the Hudson River, remained there one month under the aforesaid Capt. and 
at the expiration of one month the company of Capt. John Wisner, from the Town 
of Warwick, County aforesaid, came to New Windsor and deponent's company 
was discharged. The company of Capt. Wisner was not full — he wanted three 
men and deponent was one of those who volunteered to make out the required 
number. Deponent marched from New Windsor down the river (then frozen) to 
Fort Constitution nearly opposite West Point on the east side of the river and in 
the County of Putnam ; remained at Fort Constitution one month ; was then and 
there verbally discharged. Col. Nichols was in command of the Fort. There 
were other troops than those of deponent's company. His said first enlistment or 
entry in service was in the month of October in the said year, 1775. 

That in the year 1776 he enlisted for life under Capt. Daniel Denton of the 
town of Blooming Grove, aforesaid, and Lieut. Strong and Samuel Miller. 
Marched from Blooming Grove to New York through Monroe, Ramapo, Hacken- 
sack, etc., to Hoboken. Washington was then in command in person in New 
York; General Putnam was there; Gen. McDougal commanded his brigade, 
Wisenfeldt was his Lieut. Col., Denton his Captain. The standing army was 



Sixth Generation: Line of J antes f Job? Job" 167 

stationed in and about the city. When the city was taken by the British army he 
went with the other troops to Harlem, Kings Bridge, and stopped at White 
Plains. They were pursued by the British army to White Plains w'here there was 
an engagement of the hostile forces; that deponent was in that engagement, was 
one of five ordered to the management of a field piece and was taken from the 
lines for such purpose. Gen. McDougal was in command at White Plains. The 
force of the British army was much superior and Gen. McDougal thought it most 
advisable to retreat. The British took possession of the battle ground but did not 
pursue the American troops further in their retreat. There were many killed and 
wounded in that action on both sides; thinks there were two hundred of the 
Americans killed and mortally wounded. The enemy after remaining some time 
at the battle ground returned again to the city of New York. Deponent marched 
with the other troops to Peekskill in the County of Westchester, from Peekskill to 
Haverstraw, and from thence to Suffern where they were discharged from the ser- 
vice and returned. This deponent had enlisted for life but it having been repre- 
sented to the State Congress that such was the case they directed such enlistment 
to be destroyed and issued commissions to enlist for three years or during the 
war. This deponent having enlisted for life was accordingly discharged. Pie 
enlisted in February and was discharged and returned home in December follow- 
ing, having served a period of nine months, the whole as a Corporal. 

That in the Spring of 1777 he again entered the service in a company of Light 
Horse commanded by Capt. Ebenezer Woodhull, of Blooming Grove, aforesaid, 
who had received a commission to enlist a company of Horse, from Gov. George 
Clinton, to be ready at all times for the performance of duty when their services 
should be required. 

In the Fall of 1777, after the British had taken Fort Montgomery and when 
on the route up the river to Kingston, which they burned, he was ordered out by 
the Captain of his company, Capt. Woodhull, to New Windsor on the Hudson. 
There were several companies of militia there. Col. DuBoise of the standing 
troops was there. Remained there a short time, then marched to Kingston. 
After remaining there a short time he was discharged from duty and returned 
home having been out on duty at least two weeks. 

That in 1778 he was ordered out in service as one of Capt. WoodhulPs com- 
pany to go to Mornstown in the State of New Jersey to guard some clothing that 
had been taken from the British — no other troops at Morristown but deponent's 
company. He was out on this duty four days. In the same year he was again 
ordered to Morristown for the purpose of guarding clothing as stated before. 
Three were required to guard such clothing to Philadelphia of which number 
deponent was one. He went to Philadelphia and from thence returned home 
having served on that tour at least ten days. 

That in 1779 he was ordered out by his Capt. Woodhull and marched to Fish- 
kill in the County of Dutchess. Does not recollect the names of any other 
officers than his Captain, and Lieut. McCambly. He remained at Fishkill one 
month, was then discharged and returned home. 

1. He was born February 28, 1758, in the town of Blooming Grove, aforesaid. 

2. There was a record of his age in his father's Bible, which is now lost. 

3. Lived in the town of Blooming Grove when called into the service and has 
ever since resided there. 

4. He was called into service as hereinbefore stated. 

5. He never received a written discharge. 

6. He is known to Chas. Howell, Nathan H. White, Selah Strong and Heze- 
kiah Howell, of his neighborhood, who can testify as to his veracity and their 
belief of his service.

He was a soldier of the Revolution, as appears from the following copy of 
application for pension on file in the Pension Bureau at Washington : 

State of New York ) 
County of Suffolk \ 



ss. : 



On this 6th day of February, 1838, personally appeared before me Hugh 
Halsey of Southampton in said County, First Judge of the Court of Common 
Pleas in and for said County, JAMES SAYRE, of said Town of Southampton, 
County and State aforesaid, who being by me first duly sworn according to law, 
doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of 
the Act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832. 

That he was born at Southampton, aforesaid, on the 20th day of August, 1753, 
and was eighty-four years of age on the 20th day of August last, as he has always 
been informed and believes; that he has seen a record of his age in his father's 
family Bible, but is unable to state where that record now is. 

That he enlisted in the service of the United States on the 28th day of June, 
1775, in the town of Southampton and County of Suffolk, State of New York, in 
the company commanded by Capt. John Hulbert, John Davis 1st Lt., and Wm. 
Haven 2d Lt., belonging to the third regiment of New York forces under the 
command of Col. James Clinton ; that he enlisted as a Corporal into said com- 
pany; that he enlisted for the term of six months to commence on the 1st day 
of July and end on the 31st day of December then next. A few days after 
his enlistment the company was mustered at the residence of Capt. Hulbert 
in said town of Southampton, and he with said company marched to Montauk, 
being the extreme East part of Long Island, and were stationed there as 
a guard to protect and defend the cattle feeding upon the extreme plains, or 
common, from the depredations of the British then lying in Gardner's Bay ; 
that two other companies were there a part of the time, one from Southold in 
Suffolk Co., commanded by Capt. Griffin, the other from Huntington in said 
County, commanded by Capt. Grinnell ; that he continued at Montauk in the 
service until the latter part of August of that year, at which time Gen. Wooster 
came to Montauk with orders for the three companies then stationed there to 
march to Ticonderoga in the northern part of the State of New York ; that he 
with said company left Montauk and embarked on the first of September on board 
a sloop at Sag Harbor and arrived at New York in a few days; that he with said 
company staid in New York a few days and then again embarked on board the 
same sloop for Albany where they arrived in a few days ; staid there a few days 
and then marched through Half Moon and Saratoga on the west side of the 
Hudson river to Lake George where they embarked on board of boats and went 
to the head of the lake where they landed and marched to Ticonderoga a distance 
of about three miles ; that he arrived there sometime in the month of September 
and continued in the Fort at Ticonderoga until the first of November. In the 
month of November Fort Chambly on Lake Champlain was taken by General 
Montgomery, Gen. Arnold, and Ethan Allen, and one hundred and seventy- 
five prisoners, as it was said, were taken, being men, women and children. 
The prisoners were sent down to Ticonderoga the last of October and put 
under the care of Capt. Hulbert's Co. They left Ticonderoga with the pris- 
oners the first day of November and crossed Lake George and thence 
marched down to Albany; that on arriving at Albany Capt. Hulbert with 
a part of the company started for Trenton with the officers and musicians 
and that he with a part of the company under Lieut. Havens, guarded the 



Sixth Generation: Line of Benjamin? Benjamin? Job' 1 177 

other prisoners to Old Canaan, in the State of Connecticut, delivered the pris- 
oners, staid there a few days, and then marched to Fort Constitution on the 
Hudson river where Capt. Hulbert and the rest of the company joined them; that 
he staid at Fort Constitution with said company in the service until about the 
27th of December; that on that day, or two or three days before, his term of 
service expired he was sent to New York with despatches to one Capt. Johnson ; 
that Benjamin Sanford and George Ludlow were sent with him; that he arrived 
in New York on the first day of January, 1776, and delivered the despatches to 
Capt. Johnson. When he left Ft. Constitution Capt. Hulbert told him not to re- 
turn, but to go on home from New York, as his term of service would expire on 
the 31st of December; that he staid in New York one day and embarked on 
board of a sloop for Setauket, on Long Island, where he landed and went through 
Riverhead to his home in the Town of Southampton, where he arrived about the 
fourth or fifth of January, 1776, having served his full term of enlistment of six 
months. 

He knows of no person whose testimony he can procure who can testify to his 
service except Abraham Sherril of the town of East Hampton in said county of 
Suffolk, who was with him as a private in said company. He now lives in the 
said town of Southampton and has lived there ever since the Revolutionary War. 
He is acquainted with Rev. Amri Francis and Gurden Cowithe, residing in his 
neighborhood, who can testify as to his character for veracity and their belief of 
his services as a soldier of the Revolution. He had a written discharge from 
Capt. John Hulbert but has since lost it and is now unable to say where it is. 

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except 
the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the Agency 
of any State.

He was a Revolutionary soldier. After the war he removed to western

and innkeeper, and died at an advanced age. 

His application for pension, on file in the Pension Bureau in Washington, 
reads as follows :

Perry County. \ 

Court of Common Pleas, November Term, 1832. 

On this 9th day of November, 1832, personally appeared in open Court, now 
sitting, Reuel Sayre, a resident of said County of Perry and State of Ohio, aged 
within a few months of seventy-nine years, who, being first duly sworn according 
to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the 
benefit of the act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832. 

That he entered the service of the United States under the following named 
officers and served as herein stated. That he volunteered in the Salem County, 
N. J., Militia and went out under Captain Wood, on the third day of August, 
1776, as he thinks, in the regiment of Col. Holmes, served more than one month 



Seventh Gen.: Line of Thomas? Thomas? John? Francis 2 185 

as a private volunteer. " On my return I was chosen a lieutenant in Captain 
Shepard's Co., of N. J. Militia, in Col. Holmes' regiment, and went out in Decem- 
ber following — cannot tell the exact time — in 1776. I held a Commission as 
Lieutenant which I have taken no care of and lost or destroyed, supposing it to 
be of no service. I served five months as a Lieut, and was then chosen Captain. 
I did not actually serve as Captain. I am perfectly satisfied that I served in all 
as Lieutenant and private, as aforesaid, six months. I was out in service as 
Lieut, when the British took possession of Salem, N. J. The Captain was then 
severely wounded and being afterwards unfit for duty I was chosen Captain. I 
was in two or three skirmishes, first at a place called Petticoat. Bridge, in the 
upper part of Jersey, when the British over-run the Jerseys. Next I was under 
Washington when he was attacked at Trenton ; the next at a place called Han- 
cock's Bridge. When the British were in Salem, Salem County, N. J., they came 
upon us by surprise, the guard was taken, and every man killed but myself. We 
were stationed at the Bridge, we had guards up and down the Creek, they came 
through the marsh on the back of us at night; I got off by mingling among the 
British in the dark. All were killed, left for dead, or taken prisoners, but myself. 
This was the time our Captain was wounded and left for dead. I had one 
brother killed and one taken prisoner in this night affair." 

He cannot name any officers more particularly that he knew. " There is no 
man living as I know of whose testimony I can procure. I am so very deaf that 
it is almost impossible to understand fully what is to be done to obtain my 
pension." 

Questions by the Court. 

When and in what year were you born ? 

Ans. I was born in the year 1754, in July, in Salem County, N. J. 

Have you any record of your age, and if so where is it ? 

Ans. I have, but not knowing that it was necessary I have not brought it 
with me and I understand the Court is about to adjourn. I can send it 
into town. 

Where were you living when you entered the service ; where have you lived since ? 

Ans. I lived at Salem County, N. J. Since I lived in N. J. till 1795. I 
lived in Pennsylvania about twenty years and I have lived in this State until 
to-day seventeen or eighteen years. 

How were you called into service ? 

Ans. I always turned out as a volunteer. I was a young man and always 
stepped out. 

State the names of some of the regular officers, where you served, the Con- 
tinental and Militia Regiments, and the general circumstances of your service. 

Ans. I cannot further than I have done. 

Did you ever receive a discharge or commission, if so, what has become of it, 
and by whom was it signed ? 

Ans. I did not receive a discharge. I cannot remember who signed my com- 
mission. It is gone. I wish I had it now. 

State the names of persons to whom you are known in your neighborhood 
and who can testify to your character for truth and veracity. 

Ans. Judge Wilson, Judge King, and the Rev. Thomas Moore. 

I hereby relinquish all claim whatever to a pension except the present and 
declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the Agency of any State.

Though bright its aspect to his youthful eye, 
Turned with affection ardent to his God, 
And lived and died an humble minister 
Of his benignant purposes to man.

Here lies he now — yet grieve not thou for him, 

Reader, he trusted in that love where none 

Have ever vainly trusted. Rather let 

His marble speak to thee : and shouldst thou feel 

The rising of a new and solemn thought 

Wak'd by this sacred place, and sad memorial, 

O listen to its impulse — 'tis Divine 

And it shall guide thee to a life of joy, 

A death of hope, and endless bliss hereafter.

SEVENTH GENERATION. 

Line of Daniel,"' Daniel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel.- 

470 NATHANIEL « SAYRE was born November, 1754. 

His father had died during the war, intestate, leaving a large farm of several 
hundred acres at Connecticut Farms, N. J., which, according to the law of the 
State at that time, fell to Nathaniel, as the eldest son. He, however, divided the 
land among his brothers, "according to the wishes of his revered father," as is 
stated in the deeds; he removed to Mendham* Morris County, N. J., and sub- 
sequently to Dover, N. J., where he died about 1838, unmarried. 

He served in the War of the Revolution, as appears by the following official 
statement, on file in the Pension Office at Washington, D. C. The pension was 
received by him until his death.

County of M( 



' Jersey, ) 

[ORRIS, <y 



On this 7th day of August 1832, personally appeared in open Court before the 
Judges of the Court of Common Pleas now sitting, Nathaniel Sayre, a resident 
of Randolph township in the county of Morris and State of New Jersey, aged 
seventy-seven years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his 
oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of 
Congress passed June 7th 1832. 

That he enlisted in the Continental army or State troops, he is uncertain 
which of the two it was, in August, 1775, as he thinks for the term of six months 
in a company commanded by Capt. David Palmer, William Crane being 1st Lt., 
the name of the Col. he has forgotten. With his company he marched to New 
York and from thence to Albany, to Ft. George and Ticonderoga, thence to St. 
Johns where the enemy fired upon them and they often had skirmishes with them. 
From St. Johns he was removed with his company to Montreal where they kept 
garrison until January. They returned to Albany and at the expiration of the 
time for which he was enlisted he was discharged and returned home, but has 
since lost his discharge. The company to which he was attached was raised for 
the purpose of aiding Gen. Montgomery in his attempt on Quebec but never 
reached further than Montreal. 

The next summer, viz. 1776, he was ordered by his officers on a tour of 
militia duty for the period of one month at Elizabethtown to keep guard and to 
prevent the enemy from plundering etc. He served at this time under Capt. 
Potter, Col. Thomas being as he thinks in command of the regiment. He staid 
until the company was dismissed. After being at home for about one month he 
was again called out and did duty under the same officers at the same place and 
upon the same service as before for the period of one month and was again dis- 
missed and went home. 



Seventh Gen. : Line of Daiiiel? Daniel* Daniel? Daniel' 1 207 

Sometime in the Fall of the same year he did another month's tour of duty at 
Chatham, Springfield, Connecticut Farms, Ehzabethtown, and helping guard 
along the shore again under Capt. Potter; was verbally discharged. 

In the latter part of this year he was out for another month's tour at Ash 
Swamp, in the vicinity of Woodbridge, N. J., under the same officers. He be- 
lieves that in the course of this year he was out four months. 

In the year 1777, he was out at least three months under different officers, 
Col. Jacques commanding the whole of the troops while at Newark; he was em- 
ployed during this time at Newark, and Ehzabethtown, guarding the several 
points along the shore — chiefly at Ehzabethtown. 

In the course of the year 1778, he was very often called out and did duty for 
three months or more under Capt. Potter, often having none but company offi- 
cers, as but few men were in service at the time. 

Again in the year 1779, he was out as much as three months upon the same 
duty and in the same places as before. And through each year until the close of 
the war he performed as much as three months' tours of militia duty under dif- 
ferent officers whose names he does not remember. He knows that Major Hays 
was an officer in his first year of militia duty, commonly called " Old Bark Knife." 

From feebleness of memory he is altogether unable to state minutely his ser- 
vices during any part of the time in which he was engaged, and he is unable to 
give either the names of his officers or the months and years when the several 
services were rendered. 

This deponent was born 111 Elizabeth township, Essex County, N. J., where 
he lived when he entered the service. For more than forty years past he has 
resided in Randolph, Morris County, N. J., where he now resides. He will be 
seventy-eight years of age in November next but has no record of his age. He 
never received any other than a verbal discharge, or dismission from his officers 
for militia service after his service expired. He refers to Col. Joseph Cutter and 
Jonathan Nixon in proof of his character and the general belief that he served in 
the war of the Revolution. He verily believes he served twenty-two months, 
including his first enlistment of six months in the regular army. 

He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity except the present 
and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State.

He bought land August 21, 1804, from the M. E. Church at New Providence, 
N. J., and sold in 1808. 

He was a soldier in the Revolution. His application for pension, on file in 
the Pension Bureau at Washington, D. C, reads as follows: 

State of New Jersey, ) 
Essex County. I 

Personally appeared before me, Samuel B. Miller, one of the Judges of the 
Inferior Court of Common Pleas and Justice of the Peace in and for said County 
of Essex, ANTHONY SAYRE, of the township of Springfield, County of Essex 
and State of New Jersey, who being duly sworn deposes and saith that he is the 
same Anthony Sayre who heretofore made a declaration for pension dated the 
16th day of August in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and thirty-two, and 
that by reason of old age, the great length of time and the consequent loss of 
memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length or period of the war 
when he served, but according to the best of his recollection at this time he served 
as a volunteer and drafted soldier in the Revolutionary War at the time, and not 
less than the period mentioned below : 

That he first entered the service of the United States as a volunteer in the 
township of Springfield in the County of Essex and State of New Jersey, in the 
Revolutionary War, in the month of August, 1776, in a company of militia com- 
manded by Capt. Jacob Brookfield, and did six months duty under the com- 
mand of Major Hays in Col. Thomas' regiment, stationed first on Staten Island 
and then at Elizabethtown point, and helped build the fort or breastworks at said 
point. 

In the year seventeen hundred and seventy-seven, in the month of May, he 
was drafted in a company of militia commanded by the said Jacob Brookfield, 
and was in actual service that year as a private soldier under the command of the 
said Capt. Brookfield and Capt. Joseph Horton eight months, stationed at Eliza- 
bethtown point and Hackensack. He was that year part of the time under the 
command of Col. Jaquish and part of the time under Col. Thomas, and when at 
Hackensack under the command of Col. Bott (?). 

In the spring of 1778 he was again drafted as a private soldier in a company 
of militia commanded by Capt. Joseph Horton (Capt. Brookfield having resigned) 



2i6 Seventh Gen.: Line of Isaac;' Isaac* Daniel? Daniel 2 

and was in active service that year six months. The same year volunteered and 
went to Monmouth and was in the Monmouth battle, and was under the com- 
mand of Col Jaquish, stationed the most of the time between New Brunswick and 
Hackensack. 

In the spring of the year 1779 he was again drafted in said Capt. Horton's 
company of militia as a private soldier and was out in his company in active ser- 
vice five months that year, stationed the most of the time at Elizabethtown point 
under the command of Cols. Jaquish and Thomas. 

In the year 1780 he was again drafted in the said Capt. Horton's company as 
a private soldier and did four months duty that year, and was in the battle of 
Springfield and pursued the British to Crown Point, in Capt. Squires' Company 
stationed at Springfield and Connecticut Farms under Col. Jaquish. 

In the spring of 1781 he was out on duty in the said Capt. Horton's company 
of militia as a private soldier four months, stationed at Springfield and along the 
enemy's lines between New Brunswick and Hackensack under the command of 
said Col. Jaquish — making his whole service as a volunteer and drafted private 
soldier in the Revolutionary war, in the militia, two years and nine months; and 
for such service he claims a pension. And this deponent further saith that the 
service stated in this and his original declaration to have been performed by him 
in the war of the Revolution as a private soldier was bona fide and actually ren- 
dered. That he was duly called out with his company and actually stationed at 
the different places mentioned in this and his said original declaration doing mil- 
itary duty all that time. And for the time during which the said service was per- 
formed he was not engaged in any civil pursuit. 

As to the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, to the first 
he answers : 

1. He was born in the township of Springfield, Essex County, N. J., October 
10, 1754. 

2. He has a record of his age now in his possession. 

3. Was living in the said township of Springfield when first called into service, 
and has resided there ever since. 

4. He first volunteered and then was drafted. 

5. Knew General Washington, Gen. Wayne, Gen. Dickerson, Col. Wynes, 
Col. Ogden, and many others. 

6. Never received any written discharge and has no documentary evidence. 

7. William Stiles Ely, Matthias Denman, Caleb Woodruff Ely, John Wade, 

Abner Wade, Jacob Wyllys, Jacob Broadwell, and many others he might name 

can certify as to character. ,_,. ",

State of New York, ) 

> ss. 
Essex County. \ 

On this 22d day of May, 1850, before me, a Justice of the Peace in and for 
said County and State, personally came Silas Sayre, and, being duly sworn, 
says that he is the identical Silas Sayre who was Captain of Company 1st in the 
9th regiment of Infantry of the militia of the State of New York, commanded by 
Col. Joiner. 

That on or about the 6th day of September, 1814, while in the service of the 
United States at a place called Plattsburg, in the State of New York, under the 
immediate command of Gen. McComb, he received the following injury to wit : 

On the 6th of said September, 18 14, while engaged with the enemy and on 
the retreat, Gen. Wright ordered a heavy rail fence thrown down, which impeded 
the course of his horse; many of the soldiers in the excitement of the moment 
immediately seized the rails and threw them almost every way, the end of one of 
which struck the applicant on the lower part of the abdomen causing a breach 
which he exhibited to his Lieutenant at the time, and consequently by his advice 
gave up the command on the eleventh to said Lt. ; that the Surgeon of said 
regiment (since deceased) advised the applicant to abstain from all laborious 
employment which he has since done. 

That the reasons of his not making earlier application are the delicate nature 
of the injury and his ability (except at intervals) to superintend his business so as 
to be able to gain a comfortable support. Recently the said injury has reduced 
him to a state of total disability and complete dependence. 

That he with others was discharged by general orders on or about the 15th 
day of September, 1814; that his Ensign is dead, and the affidavit of his Lieu- 
tenant is herewith sent; that he does not recollect the paymaster by whom he 
was paid.

Mr. W. T. Willey, County Clerk, in sending the above items, added: 
" My opinion is that either Daniel Sayre, or his ancestor was the patentee of 
large tracts of land here, as I find no deeds to him of any consequence. These 
patents would be recorded at Richmond, Va., and might contain references to 
parties throwing light on the line of your researches. The name is almost in 
every instance spelt ' Sayre.' They seem to have disappeared out of this commu- 
nity. I know of no person of that name."

The following obituary notice appeared in the Rochester " Demo- 
crat and Chronicle," June 17, 1894: 

Charles K. Hart died Saturday evening at 7 o'clock at his residence, 
123 Plymouth avenue. He was born September 13, 1827, on a farm 
on Clover Street, in the town of Brighton. His father was Romanta 
Hart and his mother Ruth Coles Hart. At the age of 20 Mr. Hart 
went to California by way of the Isthmus of Panama, being a passenger 
on the Oregon during the second trip made by a steamer up the Pacific 
coast. The Golden Gate was entered on the first of April in the 
memorial year 1849, and the young pioneer, showing his usual energy, 
engaged in several business enterprises. He held shares in mines, 
leased a farm and managed a store. One especially interesting accom- 
plishment is remembered : he introduced eastern fruit trees into Cali- 
fornia and secured seedlings and nursery stock in Rochester. After 
nine years on the Pacific coast Mr. Hart returned to Rochester. 

Another residence in the West, during which Mr. Hart's efforts 
were chiefly devoted to mining, followed. In California he had studied 
carefully the washing process and soon gained equal familiarity with 
crushing and drilling. Business interests took him to Colorado, Idaho 
and New Mexico. His life up to this time had been unusually aciive, 
and the strain of overwork began to tell so severely upon his health, 
that ten years ago he returned to this city, and he had since then lived 
in comparative quiet.

lie was born in Pittsford, N. Y '., Jan. 13, 1859. He is the oldest 
son of James Martin Wiltsie and Emily Ward Hastings Wiltsie. He 
was graduated from the University of Rochester in 1880, ranking 
second in a class of thirty. After graduating, he went to Europe, and 
studied there in the Universities of Gottingen and Berlin, in Ger- 
many. Returning to this country, he entered the law office of Hon. 
John S. Morgan, late County Judge of Monroe County, and was ad- 
mitted to practice in 1883. He opened an office of his own and began 
practice at once, working actively in real estate law and office business, 
rather than in litigaiion or court business. In 1885, Mr. Wiltsie pub- 
lished a book on " Parties to Mortgage Foreclosures." In 1889, at 
the age of 30, he published a volume of 1 150 pages on "The General 
Law and Practice of Foreclosing Mortgages," which has become a 
standard among lawyers. He has traveled extensively through 
Mexico and the Western States, and also abroad. Upon his return he 
renewed his practice. In the Fall 'of 1892 he made a trip around the 
world, in the course of which lie wrote an extensive series of descrip- 
tive letters to local newspapers. He is an active trustee of the 
Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute, Treasurer of the Roch- 
ester Historical Society and a member of the Genesee Valley Club. 
■ He was the Democratic candidate for State Senator in the 44th Sena- 
torial District of New York in the campaign of 1895, but was defeated 
in a strongly Republican district.

Line of Thomas,"' David, 4 David, 3 Daniel. - 

566a The account given on page 53 of Thomas Sayre (37), based upon 
statements made in Shourd's " History of Fenwick Colony," has been found to 
be incorrect. Said Thomas (37) was the Thomas referred to on pages 53 and 
54, who had sons Benjamin and David; and Thomas (118) on page 94, and 
James (119) on page 97, were, without doubt, sons of David (64), who were 
numbered respectively 207 and 208 on pages 69 and 125. Thomas (207) and 
his wife Rachel were constituent members of the Baptist Church of Salem, N. J., 
which was organized May 17, 1755, at Mill Hollow, near Salem. In March, 
1785, a movement was made to erect a new meeting-house, and Thomas Sayre 
was appointed one of the committee " to fix the size and mode of the house." 
The next month it was decided to build the new house in Salem, and Thomas 
Sayre was appointed one of the trustees. May 23, 1790, his son Reuel and wife 
Rachel were baptized, and September 25, 1790, Reuel was chosen as one of 
the collectors for the church, and September 15, 1792, he was chosen deacon. 
Thomas Sayre was a farmer and justice of the peace. He died about January, 
1794, his will being probated January 8, 1794, as mentioned on page 94. In 
order that later generations may appear in their proper line of descent, we have 
concluded to make corrections in this manner. Of the sons of Thomas (118, 
which should be 207), the families of Reuel (367), Dennis (369), Thomas (371), 
and William (373), are found on pages 184 to 187. The descendants of these 
sons will be recorded under numbers other than stated on those pages so as 
to bring them under the correct pedigree. That is :

566b Referring to remarks on page 252, under 566a, concerning Thomas 
Sayre (118), we add that up to the time the account of his brother James 
(119, which should be 208) was printed, we had not been able to get replies 
from any of his descendants, and therefore could give only the meager infor- 
mation on page 97. The will of his father David (64) included the fol- 
lowing item : " I give and bequeath to my beloved Son James Sayre my half 
part of ye Saw Mill with all ye land and meadow thereunto belonging when 
he shall arrive at the age of twenty years." The location of this saw-mill has not 
been identified, but it was probably in the vicinity of Jericho, Cumberland County. 

On page 97 we affixed asterisks to the names of two of the sons of 
James, expecting to receive further information concerning them for mention in 
the proper place. This, however, has as yet come to hand only partially, and we 
add to the account stated on page 97 the following :

18, 1848, is in possession of a descendant of the latter. He was then eighty-five 
years old, and his letter says he could then " write as well as ever he could, was 
then writing with the 'naked eye.'" The letter is several pages in length, and 
gives a full account of his family. He had eleven children, and at the time of 
writing had sixty-seven grandchildren living, twenty-one grandchildren dead, and 
sixty-one great-grandchildren living. He was a member of a Baptist Church

570 THOMAS 6 SAYERS, born in Salem County, N. J., December 26, 
1770; married April 23, 1795, Frances Dye, who was born January 7, 1777, 
and died February 27, 1853. He was a farmer in Washington, Pa., and about 
1810 moved to Miami County, Ohio. A letter from him to his brother Ephraim 
in Pennsylvania is in possession of a descendant of the latter, who caused it to 
be published in a Pennsylvania newspaper, and it is here given as an illustration 
of some of the trials to which the early pioneers of our Western States were sub- 
jected early in the century. He died July 15, 1844. 



Miami County, Ohio State, 

the 9th of February, 1812. 



: 



Dear Brother: I once more am permitted by the leave of Divine Provi- 
dence, with time and opportunity, to write to you, and am happy to inform you 
that my family is as well as common, thank God for his mercy. I received yours 
of the 29th of December, and also that you sent to Zanesville, and am glad to 
hear that you are all well. On the 20th of last month, a day or two after I 
received your last letter, I started to Ft. Wayne with a sled in company with five 
others, with whisky and flour for that garrison; it lies about a hundred miles from 
where I live in a northwest direction on what is called the Mamee, or Miami of 
the Lake. About 60 miles of the way is through the Indian lands and unin- 
habited. We had to encamp out five nights, the snow about 14 inches deep and 
the weather very cold. Some got their feet frostbit, tho' I did not ; yet I am very 
unwell since I returned. I saw a good many indians at the fort, some of a 
strange tribe called the Kickepoos from the Illinois River, but did not learn their 
business there. There is great talk of a British and Indian war. If there should 
be war with England it is probable that there will be an Indian war also : if so it 
will be well with you and others who are out of danger. I lately saw a letter 
from one of our legislators, who says that they are about to raise a company ot 
rangers to spy on our frontiers, who probably will be a help to our safety. 

The most strange and awful news I have to relate to you is the shaking of the 
earth through all this country ; the first shock of earthquake felt here was, I 
think, about the 16th of December; the last was on Friday last, first about 4 
o'clock in the morning, the other about 9 o'clock in the evening. The first of 
the two last mentioned was very hard and the earth continued in motion for the 
space of two minutes, and some say more. I suppose it was not felt in Waynes- 
burg or you would have mentioned it in your letter. 

There, is a copy of a letter published in a newspaper from a gentleman passing 
down the Mississippi, who was anchored near the Little Prairie, a little below the 
Chickasaw Bluffs. He stated that the earthquake, which was on the 16th of 
December, was very hard there, and that many of the islands sank in part and 
were split to pieces and the banks in places fell in in acres together, and all the 
logs, &c, imbedded in the bottom of the river, rose up and greatly obstructed the 
passage down the river, and that the inhabitants of that part were moving oft 
from the river. Other reports are going that a volcanic eruption has taken place 
up the Missouri River in one of the mountains, and that it bursts forth with fire 
and that it has destroyed a vast many Indians near it. The truth of those reports 
I am not able to ascertain, but true it is that it is the awful power of God to

shake terribly the earth. I now come to tell you something about the land as 
you requested me. Mr. Smith has broke up and gone off down the river, tho' it 
is said full handed, and has left his lands in the hands of W. Lowery, his former 
agent, who is now his son-in-law, who sells to any who will purchase, tho' he 
does not sell much, as there has been but one fourth paid and the certificate taken 
out, so the back interest makes it come high to the purchaser. Another thing in 
his favor was that Congress allowed them a year of grace, the same as is allowed 
on other public lands not excepted to the rights of preemption, which prolongs 
the time of forfeiture till the first day of next January. I advise you, if you have ' 
a mind for land here to come down next fall, and if you like, deposit your money 
with a receiver or some other person, to enter, when forfeited, in your name. This 
is the best instruction I am able to give you and am but a poor adviser at any 
time. 

I have a house and lot in Staunton ; I wish you would send some one to buy 
it. It is a frame, with a stone chimney, two fire places, a good well of water in 
the yard, and the lot is inclosed with a post and rail fence. I ask only $140 for 
it, and the forty I would take in shoemaking, if you can send a shoemaker to 
purchase. I think this is very low, and a shoemaker is very much wanted, and 
would meet with good encouragement, there being two tanyards near and no 
shoemaker. I shall be glad to see you or Reuben down here. I do not ever 
expect to come and see you again, as I am embarrassed with a large and expen- 
sive family, which requires my care and attention at home. We now have 12 
children, four sons and eight daughters. The youngest was born on the 15th of 
November. 

I shall omit writing again until John Dye goes up in the spring, and then I 
will again if I am spared, and you can do the same when he returns. 

No more at present ; my pen is getting very bad, and I have now encroached 
on the hours allotted me for sleep, and must conclude, with remembering my 
love to my mother, brothers and all inquiring friends. Fannie remembers her 
love to Polly, and so do I also. Requesting you to show this letter to my 
mother, I am and remain your friend and brother, 

Thomas Savers.

606 CHARLES 6 SEARS, born in New Haven, Conn.; married Gertrude 
Vanderzee, of Bath, N. Y. He was from 1838 to 1843 a flour merchant in 
Albany, N. Y. 

When Horace Greeley became the advocate of industrial associations as pro- 
pounded by Fourier, Mr. Sears became at once deeply interested, and he promptly 
gathered an informal club for the study of the new theory. 

Mr. Greeley was called to Albany to lecture and to consult on practical 
measures, which resulted in 1843 in the formation of the North American Pha- 
lanx, in Monmouth County, N. J. 

Mr. Sears thenceforth devoted his capital and his life to that enterprise. He 
died at Williamsburgh, Kansas, in 1890.

He was a son of Benjamin and Elizabeth Ketchum Burt, and was born in 
Bellvale, N. Y., Jan. 5, 1821. In 1868 he removed to Warwick, N. Y., where 
he now resides (1894). He was educated in the public schools, excepting one 
year in the Classical Academy, at Albany, N. Y. He has been a farmer, and 
manufacturer of, and dealer in, lumber. He was for fourteen years a member 
of the Board of Education ; for many years Secretary and Treasurer of the 
Cemetery Association ; Chairman of the Board of Water Commissioners ; and 
since 1875 Secretary and Treasurer of the Warwick Savings Bank, which he 
organized in that year. In politics he acted with the Freesoil and Republican 
parties until 1872, and since that date with those favoring civil service and 
tariff reform. 

Mis. Burt united early in life with the First Baptist Church of Warwick, but 
in later years worshipped with the Reformed Church of that city. She died 
Sept. 25, 1900. The local paper in an account of her funeral remarked : 

She had a good knowledge of the domestic practice of medicine and nursing, 
and from the beginning of her married life, when trained nursing was not a 
profession and doctors were few and far apart, always found time notwith- 
standing family cares and the lack of robust health, to be with the sick among 
her kindred and neighbors. This untiring devotion was kept up throughout 
her entire life as the need arose, and few people now living here have oftener 
cared for the sick and closed the eyes of the dead than she. 

She shared her portion liberally with those less fortunate than herself, and 
took a deep interest in the charities of the Woman's Auxiliary Society of the 
V. M C. A. 

In the discourses at the funeral, tributes of respect were paid to the worth 
of her character, especially in its faithfulness and unselfish ministering to 
others.

1562 LYDIA, 7 b. Dec. 20, 1827; m. July 27, 1856, John Whitbeck Hasbrouck. 

The History of Orange County gives an extended account of Mrs. Lydia 
Sayer Hasbrouck and her husband, John Whitbeck Hasbrouck, accompanied 
by portraits ; an epitome of which follows : 

She was noted from childhood for her fearless spirit and independence of 
character. She inherited her father's temperament and features in a marked 
degree. She had the reputation in her school days of being the smartest girl 
of her classes, but terribly independent and self-reliant. When a reform dress 
for women, the " Bloomer Costume " was first brought into notice in 1849, 
she early espoused and adopted it. She was refused admission to the Seward 
Seminary at Florida, Orange Co., N. Y., because she insisted upon wearing 
the dress. 

She was graduated as a physician at Hygeia Therapeutic College in New 
York, and began the practice of medicine, first in Washington, D. C, where 
also she began to write for the press. In September, 1853, she was a delegate 
to the World's Temperance Convention, held in Metropolitan Hall, New 
York, where so much excitement and disturbance were aroused by women 
taking part in the proceedings and speaking from the platform. 

She spent several years in lecturing through the country, and in writing for 
the press. 

July 27, 1856, she married John Whitbeck Hasbrouck, who was born in 
Ulster Co., N. Y., Nov. 20, 1821, and who has been connected with various 
papers as publisher and as editor; among others "The Sybil," at Middle- 
town, N. Y. 

In 1880 the Legislature passed a law allowing women to vote for and hold 
school offices. At the first election, in Middletown, Mrs. Hasbrouck was 
elected a member of the school board by the " Equal Rights " element, uniting 
with the Temperance and Democratic vote against the Republican party. 

Mrs. Hasbrouck has been successful, not only in her profession as a physi- 
cian and in literary matters, but in the business world as well. She has been 
energetic and has shown remarkable abilities. She has become interested in 
real estate operations, and has erected some of the finest blocks in Middletown.

CHILDREN. 

1 William Augustus Stiles, 8 b. March 9, 1837. Was graduated from 
Yale College in 1859, and taught for ten years thereafter in his father's 
school. In 1882-3-4 was Clerk of the New Jersey State Senate. 
Afterwards was connected with the " New York Tribune," and " Gar- 
den and Forest," an agricultural journal of New York. 

From the " New York Times," Oct. 7, 1897, is the following : 

Park Commissioner William A. Stiles died early yesterday morning, 
at 241 Tonnele Avenue, Jersey City Heights, the residence of his sister, 
Mrs. E. H. Davey. 

Mr. Stiles was born March 9, 1837, near Deckertown, Sussex Co., 
N. J., where his father conducted the then famous school at Mount 
Retirement. The school accommodated sixty boys and girls, and was 
locally renowned as a preparatory college for many years. The 
Alumni Association still holds annual meetings. The house and 
grounds occupied by the school, which was given up at his father's 
death, have been for some years a farm operated for Mr. Stiles by his 
brother-in-law, E. N. Millen. 

Graduating from his father's care, he went to Yale, where he was 
soon known as a promising mathematician and student. He was 
graduated in 1859. William C. Whitney and the late William Walter 
Phelps were among his associates there. A rather good story is told 
of one of his first experiences in the university. He was always gaunt 
and country-looking, and he never cared how his clothes fitted him or 
how shabby they were as long as they were clean. His fellow-students 
regarded him at first as very "green" and awkward. One day he 
was called upon to demonstrate a problem in geometry. He did it 
well, and the professor nodded approvingly, and then, pointing his 
finger, asked : " But why does A equal B ? " 

" Because two and two make four ! " answered the new student. 

The class laughed. The professor looked up sharply. He saw that 
no impertinence was intended, but that the geometrical fact was in the 
lad's mind as clear as the sum in addition. After that the class knew 
Stiles, and soon the whole college knew him. He was as a lad what 
he was as a man, of rugged honesty and ability, and he made friends 
easily and kept them for life. His manner of speech, his caustic humor 
and his kindliness of heart, added to the simplicity of his tastes, fre- 
quently tempted his friends to compare him with Abraham Lincoln. 
He was a celebrated after-dinner speaker, and one of the most popular 
members of the University Dining Club. 

Mr. Stiles was a natural mathematician, and mathematical bent led 
him, when he left Yale and found his eyesight poor, to California to 
engage in Pacific slope surveying. His health failed, and he returned 
to Deckertown to take a professorship at Mount Retirement and assist 
his father as County Superintendent of Schools. During a long 
period of idleness forced upon him by the condition of his eyes he 
took up the study of botany. His sisters read aloud to him all the 
books to be obtained on the subject, and then questioned him as to 
what they had read.

This eventually led to what has been his main interest in life, al- 
though only in recent years has he given all his attention to it. For- 
estry entranced him, and with its study naturally came a grasp of 
landscape gardening. He used to show how he came to take up 
landscape gardening from mathematics by this form of reasoning : 

"Mathematics is logic, system, form. Art is form in its highest de- 
velopment. Botany is the study of nature's growths, and from exam- 
ination of nature's methods one learns the natural arrangement of plants 
and trees and of the paths through the collection of lawn, bush, and 
forest, and thus nature and art again commingle and again are proved 
identical." 

The appointment of Mr. Stiles by Mayor Strong to a Park Commis- 
sionership in 1895 was felicitous in the extreme. Not only was his 
knowledge of forestry of inestimable value to the city's park system, 
but his determination to permit of no desecration that he could help of 
the public parks led him frequently to voice public sentiment in his 
opposition to the less technically expert opinions of his brother Com- 
missioners. 

When Mr. Stiles's eyes became strong enough to permit him to pur- 
sue his ordinary vocations, he took up the study of animate things 
with the same earnestness that had characterized his study of the inani- 
mate. He interested himself in politics, and was soon recognized as 
an authority on political affairs in New Jersey. He was an ardent 
and consistent Republican, and was for three years Secretary of the 
New Jersey Senate. He once contested a seat in the Senate in a 
strongly Democratic district, and was defeated only by a narrow major- 
ity. He served frequently as President of State conventions, and was 
a delegate to the Chicago Convention that nominated Garfield. He 
held a place in the New York Custom House for two years, but 
resigned because he found the work uncongenial. 
In 1888 he became editor of" Garden and Forest." 
Mr. Stiles was for years editor of the agricultural department of 
the " Philadelphia Press," and wrote all the New Jersey political 
matter for the "New York Tribune." He was later an editorial 
writer for the "Tribune," where his knowledge of English and his 
crisp, clean-cut form of expression made him a powerful adherent of 
whatever policy he was supporting. His versatility and thorough 
knowledge of the subjects in which he was interested made him a val- 
ued contributor to the local press and to the different magazines and 
reviews. Besides his hobbies — mathematics and botany and horti- 
culture — he was well posted in the chemistry of agriculture, general 
literature, and music. 

Mr. Stiles was never married. He was the only son of his parents. 
He had four sisters, three of whom — Mrs. E. H. Davey, Mrs. E. N. 
Millen, and Mrs. James Bennett — survive him. Dr. Joseph Hartwell, 
who attended him in his last sickness, and who was a famous athlete 
at Yale, is one of his nephews, and another is William Stiles Bennett, 
a lawyer in the American Tract Society Building. 

Mr. Stiles had an office in this city. His residence was given to in- 
quirers as the Astor House, but the greater part of his leisure was 
passed either with Mrs. Davey or at the farm, near Deckertown. He 
was a member of the City Club, Yale Alumni Association, University 
Dining Club, Century Club, and Press Club.

Seventh Gen. : Line of Samuel? Thomas? Thomas? Joseph 2 311 

Samuel Sayre, Esq., formerly of this place, was murdered at ten o'clock on Sat- 
urday night last, together with his wife and colored servant girl, by a French 
laborer, Louis LeBlanc, who had been in his service for a fortnight. About an 
hour after daylight a person, passing the house of Mr. Sayre, picked up a bundle 
of clothing which was recognized as belonging to Mr. Sayre. He went to the 
house. Finding it locked up and failing to arouse the inmates, assistance was called, 
and the door broken open. A horrible discovery was made. The servant girl was 
found with her head cut open with a hatchet, and in the stable were found the 
bodies of Mr. Sayre and his wife, evidently killed with the same instrument. Le- 
Blanc stole a horse from the stable, and with a bag filled with plunder started for 
New York. He left the horse near Newark, and continued the journey on foot. 
Sheriff Ludlow in the meantime had been aroused and started in pursuit, taking 
with him a boy (afterwards the distinguished surgeon Dr. Lewis A. Sayre) who 
had seen LeBlanc at his kinsman's house the preceding day. The murderer was 
caught at a tavern on the salt meadows between Newark and Jersey City, was 
taken back to Morristown, and put in jail. The murder created the greatest ex- 
citement. The trial resulted in the conviction of LeBlanc, and he was duly exe- 
cuted. Mr. Sayre left two daughters, one of whom was away completing her edu- 
cation at the seminary at New Haven and the other was visiting friends in town, 
and thus their lives were saved ! LeBlanc confessed that he waited several days for 
the return of this daughter, as he knew she had a gold watch he desired to get.

daughter of Aaron (and Phebe Farrand) Kitchell, who for eight years was Con- 
gressman, and four years United States Senator. The Kitchell genealogy says of 
Baxter Sayre : " Deacon (he was a member of the Presbyterian Church) Baxter 
Sayre was a man of great force and fervor of character, a zealous Christian, and a 
bold champion of the Temperance and Anti-Slavery reforms in that early stage of 
conflict and obloquy that needed and produced heroes. Even before the great 
debate began, his tender conscience led him to emancipate his slaves in New 
Jersey, and when the conflict came, he was in it with clean hands and a whole 
heart. He was a friend of the Tappans, and associated with them rather than 
with Mr. Garrison.

" From 1828, he resided for ten years in New York, and was one of the fore- 
most in building up the Chatham Street Chapel, and sustaining Rev. C. G. 
Finney in his labors there. 

" On his return to New Jersey, in 1838, his dauntless advocacy of temperance 
and anti-slavery, amidst bitter opposition, entitled him to be ranked as the Apostle 
of these reforms in Northern New Jersey. He cast the first vote for the Liberty 
Party in Morris County, saying to the politicians: 'It is only one, gentlemen, 
but it will hatch.' His life was a warfare with evil, doing battle with wrong for 
the Lord, his King, at whatever odds. He died before victory came, but when 
Lincoln's Proclamation was announced, many remembered the toils and prayers 
of Baxter Sayre, and were glad that he too had joy over it in heaven. 

" Betsey Kitchell was his fit wife and helper in such a strenuous and unselfish 
life. She inherited from her father his intellectual vigor, his keen wit, his constant 
industry and his piercing black eyes, flashing with fun and humor. She was 
slight and graceful, of retentive memory, abounding in anecdotes and reminis- 
cences of the Revolution, and of the scenes and characters of the forming period 
of our government. Her girlhood fell in the times just after the War, when 
parties ran high, and chaos was coming into shape under the lead of Jeffersonian 
Republicanism. She took great interest in public affairs, and her intimacy with 
her father during much of his life in Washington, brought her into close acquaint- 
ance with the stirring events of the time. Her rare gift of humor and repartee, 
tempered with sense and judgment, made her the life of her household." 

Baxter Sayre was a farmer, shoemaker, tanner and currier. He died Septem- 
ber 17, 1857.

699 DAVID AUSTIN « SAYRE, born at Madison, N. J., March 12, 1793; 
married in 1825, Abby Van Holt Hammond, of Norfolk, Va., and died Sept. 10, 
1870. 

The following biographical sketch is mainly by Dr. John Stanford Sayre, who 
also defrayed the expense of the accompanying portrait. 

The early education of David Austin Sayre was limited. He was apprenticed 
to learn the art of silver-plating. His employer removed from Elizabeth, N. J., 
to Lexington, Ky., in 181 1, and his apprentice followed him, with a pack upon his 
back, through the wilds of Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh, where he took a boat down 
the Ohio to Maysville, whence he walked barefoot all the way to Lexington, ar- 
riving with only a half-dollar in his pocket. His employer had no legal right to 
take his apprentice out of the jurisdiction of one state into another, but he volun- 
tarily followed, to work out a three years' apprenticeship, and to fulfill what he 
believed to be a moral obligation. 

The silver plating business was continued in Lexington. He served out his 
apprenticeship to the end, and then kept on as journeyman. Toiling early and 
late, even to eighteen hours a day, he bought out the establishment of his late 
master who had failed. The new proprietor was workman, as well as salesman, 
in his small factory. The wares were reliable and of the right standard. His im- 
print can now be found on the heirlooms of many a home in that region. He 
continued silver-plating till 1823, when he connected a broker's office with his busi- 
ness. Intuitively the embryo banker found his place — the career for which he was 
so well qualified. 

In 1829, he bought the credits and accounts of the old Commonwealth Bank 
of Kentucky, and his business became exclusively that of a banker, on the north- 
east corner of Short and Mill Streets, Lexington, Ky. This continued to be his 
office till his death. It was there he amassed his large fortune, and there he dis- 
tributed his public and private bounties. The banking house of David A. Sayre 
& Co., founded in 1823, has never suspended in its history of more than three- 
quarters of a century. 

In the panic of 1857, he saved the Commercial Bank of Kentucky from ruin, 
by promptly paying both gold and his personal notes, which were considered as 
good as gold, for the notes of that bank. As soon as this was known, the run on 
the bank was stopped. The bank was saved as well as scores of private fortunes. 

As a business man, Mr. Sayre was possessed of a subtle and keen intellect. 
He was wonderfully energetic ; prompt in decision and leaped to conclusions, 
clear and reliable, which he was sure were right. A man of independent thought 
and opinion ; and though impulsive, like his father, Deacon Ephraim, his advice 
was considered wise and prudent. 

Nothing showed better the superior natural ability and character of the man, 
than the friends he made. Penniless and without a liberal education, he came to 
Lexington, " the Athens of Kentucky," its University and commercial center, the 
residence of its most distinguished and exclusive southern families, and his office 
became the resort of the ablest and best men of that region. His daily associates 



33 2 Seventh Gen.: Line of Ephraim? Daniel? Daniel? Joseph 2 

were Clay, President Holley, Crittenden, Breckinridge, Wickliffe, Bell, Johnson and 
others. With like disadvantages his rise in social position and in the respect of 
the people of Kentucky was perhaps only equaled by the late James B. Beck of 
Lexington, who was an overseer of negroes in a hemp factory on his arrival, and 
was afterwards elected to the Senate of the United States. When in London, the 
philanthropist, George Peabody, gave Mr. Sayre a dinner, showed him marked 
attention, and presented him with a portrait of himself. He was remarkably 
cheerful, jovial and affectionate in his disposition, so that he was known as " Uncle 
Davy " by young and old. Hospitality he dispensed with his father's liberality, 
and it is said, tears would moisten his eyes as the crowds of little children hailed 
him with their endearing expressions. 

It was the spending of his wealth so largely for the good of the public and his 
fellowmen that made him so much respected and loved. One writer says he gave 
away over half a million dollars for charitable purposes during the last forty years 
of his life-time. As no one knew better than himself, this sum invested at no 
more than ordinary compound interest, would have accumulated to an enormous 
fortune ; but he believed in being largely his own executor, and that what was 
given for benevolent purposes under his own immediate supervision, given 
promptly and judiciously, would be best given. Childless himself, he was an 
ambitious father to his brothers' children ; giving educations or established posi- 
tions, not only to them, but to others who had no claim of blood upon him. 
Among others whom he educated was his nephew, the distinguished surgeon, the 
late Dr. Lewis A. Sayre of New York. The last will of David A. Sayre be- 
queathed legacies by name to fifty-six of his relatives and connections, confirmed 
conveyances made to them during his lifetime and released all debts against any 
of them. Besides his will contained an original provision, the direction to estab- 
lish a large Sayre Fund, "to give such assistance to my blood relations" as his 
" Executor thinks proper." This fund has been wisely managed for the past 
thirty years by the Executor, his nephew, E. D. Sayre, Esq., who succeeded his 
uncle, and still continues in the same office, the business of David A. Sayre & Co., 
Bankers. 

He was a public-spirited citizen, ever ready to contribute to any enterprise by 
which the city or State of his adoption could be benefited. Making money to do 
good with, according to his conscience, he gave to the Orphan Society of Lex- 
ington, the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, and to the Church, its schools 
and colleges, almost without stint, even authorizing persons in whom he confided 
to draw upon him within any limit their judgment sanctioned. He largely 
built the McChord Church, in Lexington, Ky. 

His liberality erected the handsome library building of Center College, 
Danville, Ky. 

But the " Sayre Female Institute" of Lexington, Ky., was the greatest monu- 
ment of this philanthropist. The buildings and grounds cost him almost one 
hundred thousand dollars; and to this Mr. Sayre added largely during his lifetime, 
endowing it with apparatus, furniture, etc. It was donated to the trustees in 
perpetuity, and is one of the most complete and best furnished female institutions 
south of the Ohio. The Alumnae of " Sayre," now numbered by hundreds, are 
scattered all over the country. It was incorporated " with collegiate powers " in 
1854, or seven years before Vassar College, which is older than Wells, Smith, 
Wellesley or Bryn Mawr. It was incorporated " when," according to Presi- 
dent Raymond of Vassar, " not a single endowed college for young women ex- 
isted in all Christendom." Section 6 of the Charter, says that "the Corporation 
shall have the power of conferring diplomas, and doing all the acts of incorpor- 
ated colleges." Its Constitution states that " in accordance with the design of

Seventh Gen. : L ine of Eph ra im, 5 Da n iel, 4 Da n iel, 3 Joseph 2 333 

the generous founder, the object of this institution is .... to afford female educa- 
tion of .the widest range and highest order." David A. Sayre was therefore en- 
titled to the great honor of being the pioneer in the Southwest, and one of the 
leaders in the United States, of the higher education of women, the "novelty, be- 
nignity and grandeur of which idea," says Matthew Vassar, " arrested my 
attention." 

David A. Sayre died on the nth of September, 1870, when, says a biographer, 
" the city of Lexington was mourning a death felt in every household." The 
trustees of Sayre Female Institute passed resolutions to keep alive a respect for 
his memory, and his birthday was set apart as a holiday in the Institute, to be 
known as " Founder's Day." The Northern Bank of Kentucky resolved that in 
his death it had lost a trusted adviser, and a member of its Board. At a called 
meeting of the citizens of Lexington, Ky., it was requested that Judge G. B. 
Kinkead prepare for publication his excellent Memorial, and after a similar reso- 
lution, the Mayor issued a proclamation, asking that business be suspended during 
the funeral, and it was resolved that " the death of D. A. Sayre, benevolent, 
venerable in age, and abounding in charities, is a public loss."

The following old-fashioned letter written to his aunt, Mrs. Esther 
Bernan (716), by her nephew William Pagan Sayre, in 1816, gives a number 
of facts concerning the family. 

St. John, New Bruxs'k, 5th July 1816. 

My Honored Aunt: I had the very great satisfaction of receiving by the 
hands of Mr. Crookshank, Assistant Commissary General on the 29th ultimo, 
your most interesting and affectionate letter of the 17th April (probably ought 
to be May) to my Father. I with pleasure observe what vou say respecting 
yourself, my dear Aunt, and your children, my dear Cousins, all of whom I 
have never had the happiness t<> know personally. 

I am greatly rejoiced to find that yourself, Mr. Bernan my Uncle and all 
the family were in good health and so well established. 

I am happy to hear from my other dear relations in the States, and sin- 
cerely trust that my dear Aunt Cox (724) has perfectly recovered from her 
late distressing illness. 

It is a long time since we have heard from you. The only letter we have 
received these several years was from my Cousin John (1807), your son, to 
my dear Father, in 1815, by Mr. Joseph Clarke, who had seen you some time 
previous. 

I with pleasure learn that he has gone to England to complete his studies, 
and to endeavor to be called to the English Bar, in which I hope he may effect- 
ually succeed. 

My Cousin Peter (1805 page 348) is, I am happy to see, elected a member 
of your House of Assembly for York. I hope he may give his constituents 
reason to approve their choice, and fill his station with satisfaction to himself 
and honor to his country. As you request your affectionate brother, my hon- 
ored Father, to give you a full and circumstantial acc't of our family, I will do 
that for him for the present till he receives your letter and Cousin Peter's let- 
ter — although I shall not at this time express myself so fully on that head as 
I intend to do in a future Letter. 

My Father [James 6 Sayre (715)] married a daughter of Doctor Smith 
of this town, by whom he has a large family, viz : 

Mary Elizabeth aged about 26 years, married and settled at Dorchester in 
this Province; Jane Ross married and settled in this town, aged about 24; 
William Pagan aged 22 years the 30th of June last; John aged 19 or 20 years; 
James aged about 16 or 17; Fanny Howard, Peter Otho Robinson, Thomas 
Smith, Theodocia and Emily, 10 in number, a very numerous family. My 
Father has never lost a child, but all are living. 

My Father has not been so very fortunate in encreasing his worldly estate, 
as he could have wished, various heavy losses and disappointments in his mer- 
cantile line, put him considerably aback for a time, but thanks be to the Om- 
nipotent Ruler of Heaven and Earth, he is getting well out of all embarass- 
ments, and he now possesses a tolerable good real estate. He lives at Dor- 



Seventh Gen.: Line of 'John;' John? Daniel? Joseph 2 345 

Chester in the County of Westmoreland in this Province, which is about 130 
miles distant from this, a Vessel can run it in 12 hours, and it takes 3 days to 
i travel by land. It is a pleasant country and fast improving; he formerly 
(about 13 years ago) lived at Maugerville, in this Province, where I believe, 
my affectionate Aunt, you have been. That is the place where my much hon- 
ored Grandfather finished his mortal career, and I believe, my Grandmother 
also. Of these times you can be better acquainted with them than I am. 

I have frequently heard Papa mention their revered names with yours, Mr. 
Robinson and all his other relatives with great affection. May they, under 
the Almighty's protection rest in peace is my prayer. 

My Uncle John (717) your Brother, now lives at Baltimore, U. S. is mar- 
ried to an English Lady, and had 'last year seven children. Mr. John 
Thomson, his wife's brother, was here last year, and gave me a particular 
account of them ; he is doing pretty well, indeed very much so. 

My Uncle Cadwallader we heard of last year, that he was in the Island of 
St. Helena some years ago; the acc't did not come in a direct way, and cannot 
say if it was correct, but most probable it was. May he be blessed wherever 
he is, poor fellow. 

I am afflicted at the death of my dear Aunt Cunningham whom I have often 
heard of, but never had the blessing of seeing her; such is the way we all 
must go sooner or later ; may we all put our trust in God Almighty. 

Pray, my dear Aunt, let me know what names my fair cousins, your two 
daughters have chosen to take in lieu of their original one; tell them to write me. 

I beg you, Mr. B. and all the rest will favour me with their correspondence, 
and alth° I have not the pleasure to be personally known to you, yet we may 
enjoy our mutual correspondence, which is even a great happiness. 

I will indulge myself with the hope of one day seeing you all — may it not 
be far hence is my sincere wish. Oh ! what would I not give to see this hope 
realized. 

I shall write my cousin Peter (1805) by this same mail which will leave 

this in the Steam Boat to go by way of Fredericton and Quebec, etc. 

please write me by mail : direct " W. P. S. St. John, N. B." 

I now live with my Godfather Mr. Wm. Pagan, one of the most respectable 
merchants of this city, whom you may recollect. He has nieces living in 
Quebec. 

I close this letter with the intention of soon writing again. I beg my sin- 
cere love to yourself, Mr. Bernan, cousins Peter and William and the young 
ladies my cousins, wishing you all the enjoyment of every blessing is the 
earnest prayer of your affectionate Nephew, 

William Pagan Sayre. 

P. S. I shall hope to hear from, you soon after the receipt of this.

She was the daughter of Capt. William Heysham who died in Philadelphia 
Sept. 26, 1797, in the 77th year of his age, and Mary, his wife, who died

nephew,Will.iam H. Sayre, of South Bethlehem. They were buried in Christ Church 
burying ground, Philadelphia, as were many of their descendants. Their three other 
children were 1st, William P. Heysham, who was lost about 1800 in the wreck ot

35 2 Seventh Gen.: Line of John? John? Daniel? Joseph" 1 

John Hannum Gibbons, M. D., and died at Holmesburg, Pa., Jan. 29, 1824, 
leaving one son, John Heysham Gibbons, who married Catharine Lardner, of 
Holmesburg, Pa. They now live in Charlotte, Va., with their daughters Anna 
and Virginia and son Nicholas. Another son, Lardner Gibbons, is married and 
lives on a farm in Greenville, S. C. Another son, John Heysham Gibbons, is a 
Brevet Major General in the U. S. Army, stationed with his family at Fort Saunders, 
Dakota Territory. Two daughters, Mary and Catharine Gibbons, are unmarried, 
living at Holmesburg, and another, Margaret, married John Moore. 

Robert, second son of William and Mary Heysham, was in the battle of Tren- 
ton, when only sixteen years of age, and continued through the Jersey campaign. 
He acted as adjutant under Gen. William McPherson, during the insurrection in 
Western Pennsylvania. He was Deputy Naval Officer of the port of Philadel- 
phia under McPherson's appointment. He died in Philadelphia, Nov. 14, 1822, 
in the 63d year of his age and was buried in Christ Church burying ground. 
Of his children, Margarita died Oct., 1824; Alexander Hamilton died July 24, 
1830, in the 26th year of his age, both in Philadelphia; John Gibbons died in 
Matansas, July 4,1831; Mary died in Philadelphia, June 8, 1840; and in the 
same city, William Sayre died May 7, 1849 — all of the above were unmarried. 
Of the children of Robert Heysham, there yet survive, residing in Philadelphia, 
his son Edward, married, and daughter Frances. 

Francis Bowes Sayre studied medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, and 
received the degree of M. D. in 1790. May 6, 1788, he became a charter mem- 
ber of the New Jersey Medical Society, the first medical society incorporated in 
the country. He first practiced medicine at Cresswick, N. J. He bought, April 
6, 1792, a plantation there of sixty acres on the south side of Cresswick Creek, 
as appears from a deed recorded at Mount Holly, in Deed Book 6, folio 209, 
which he sold May 10, 1798. He died in Philadelphia, September 2, 1798, of 
yellow fever. Dr. Rush of that city, in his account of the Yellow Fever in 
1797-98, mentions that Dr. Sayre was one of the most reliable practitioners of the 
time. 

The True A7nerican and Cotnmercial Advertiser of Philadelphia, September 3, 
1798, gives the following notice: "His services in the cause of humanity (to 
which he has gloriously fallen a martyr) will ever be indelibly impressed on the 
numbers of his indigent fellow citizens, who by his persevering assiduity in his 
profession, have been rescued from the grave. How laborious and distressing 
his duty must have been, may be easily conceived, when it is known that previ- 
ous to the attack, he had above one hundred patients under his care. The loss 
of Dr. Sayre, whose talents, industry and medical knowledge rendered him an 
invaluable member of society, is particularly distressing at this time." 

Dr. James Milnor, in his " Memoirs," speaks of " my ever-to-be-lamented 
friend, Dr. Francis Bowes Sayre, who fell a glorious martyr to his philanthropy." 
He was buried in Christ Churchyard, corner Fifth and Arch Streets, Philadel- 
phia, where his monument stands adjoining those of Francis Bowes and Andrew 
Reed.

23, 1896. A Newark paper, of Dec. 24, 1896, contains a long obituary 
of Mr. Ward, of which the following forms a part : 

Elias S. Ward, one of the most prominent business men of Newark, 
and well known throughout the State, died late yesterday afternoon at 
his home, 13 South Ninth Street, this city. 

Early in the present century his grandfather, Jacob Ward, Jr., 
moved from Bloomfield to Afton, and here, at the old homestead, 
where his aged mother still lives, Elias was born. 

When about twenty-one years old he left his home on the farm and 
came to Newark to engage in business. He entered the leather trade 
and made himself a master of the details of leather manufacturing. 
For a number of years he was associated with others in the business, 
but about 1880 he organized the firm of E. S. Ward & Co., whose 
plant, one of the largest in the city, is on Norfolk Street. Mr. Ward 
prospered in business and accumulated a large fortune. He early 
became interested in electricity as a means of propulsion for street 
cars, and was the pioneer in introducing electric street railways in 
Newark. He was one of the projectors of the Rapid Transit Railroad 
Company, which built and operated what are now the West Kinney 
Street and Central Avenue lines of the Consolidated Traction Com- 
pany. Later he, with others, bought the Newark and South Orange 
Street Railway, and he became its president, holding that position at 
the time of his death. He was also largely interested in electric rail- 
roads at Plainfield, this State, and in Bridgeport, Conn. 

Soon after the organization of the Prudential Insurance Company, 
Mr. Ward became a heavy stockholder, and for many years was prom- 
inent in its Board of Directors and as chairman of the Executive Com- 
mittee. In all the enterprises with which he was connected, Mr.

Ward displayed a broad public spirit, a generous liberality and a 
warm regard for the welfare and comfort of his employees. 

He was always an ardent Republican, and from early life took an 
active interest in politics. He was not an office-seeker, however, and 
the only public position he ever held was in the Board of Chosen 
Freeholders, of which he was a member for several years. 

In 1895, at the solicitation of many friends, he became a candidate 
for the Republican nomination for Governor, and at the nominating 
convention at Trenton received the solid support of Essex County, 
besides a number of votes from other counties, until it became evident 
that John \V. Griggs was the choice of the convention. 

Mr. Ward was a man of great public spirit, and devoted much time 
and thought to the improvement of the city and the advancement of 
its commercial and manufacturing interests. He was an active mem- 
ber of the Board of Trade, and of many other organizations of a semi- 
public character, all having the betterment of the community as their 
object. In private life he was noted for his genial disposition, his 
unostentatious charity and his never-failing generosity. Few men in 
the State had a wider circle of personal friends.

774 JAMES RANDOLPHS SAYRE, born in Rahway, N.J., May 5, 1793. 
He married first, Sarah Maria Reeve, daughter of William Reeve, of Springfield, 
N. J., who was born May 30, 1793, and died October 10, 1819 ; second, Hannah 
Reeve, sister of his first wife, who was born July 12, 1791, and died May, 1874; 
third, May 17, 1877, Mrs. Abby Fordyce Kithcart, who was born near New 
Providence, N. J., in 1828, and was living in 1895 at East Orange, N. J. 

He was a mason and builder and dealer in masons' materials for many years 
in New York City, and subsequently in Newark, N. J. He was Alderman from 
the old North Ward in Newark when there were only four wards in the city. 
He died October 7, 1892, at the age of ninety-nine years and five months. 

His widow made this statement concerning him : 

Although he was eighty-four when we were married, he was in no sense, but 
in his number of years, an old man. Both in regard to mental and physical vigor, 
he might have been twenty years younger. He was a man of cheerful, genial 
disposition, never giving way to despondency. 

He became a Christian early in life, uniting with the Second Presbyterian 
Church of Newark, of which he was an honored member at the time of his death. 
He was by trade a mason, and spent his early life in Elizabeth and Newark. 
During the War of 181 2 he was employed by the government to work on the 
forts at Staten Island. From there he went to New York to work at his trade. 

In 1 83 1 he removed to Newark, and engaged in business as a dealer in masons' 
materials and supplies, by which he made a comfortable competence, and retired 
from business about 1846. 

He died in the same home where he had lived for over sixty years, No. 225 
Orange St. 

His judgment was excellent, and he retained it to a remarkable degree, attend- 
ing to his own business matters until the last week of his life, with the outside 
assistance of his son James, and the writing by some member of his family, as he 
lost his eyesight a year or two before his death. He still signed his own signature 
as long as he lived. 

If you care for the signature of a man in his one hundredth year, who could 
only indistinctly see a piece of white paper against a black background, I inclose 
you one, cut from an old check dated August 15, 1892.

He was educated at Columbia College, N. Y., from which he was graduated 
in 1808, and received the degree of Doctor of Divinity. 

In 1863 Columbia honored him with the degree of S. T. D. While in col- 
lege he left the Society of Friends, and, joining the Episcopal Church, began his 
preparation for the ministry. He was made deacon by Bishop Moore, October 6, 
1809, and ordained priest by Bishop Hobart February 27, 1812. In 1810 he 
took the charge of Grace Church, Jamaica, L. I., becoming rector after ordina- 
tion to the priesthood, and so continued until ill health compelled his resignation 
in 1830. This was his only parochial charge. His disabilities becoming chronic, 
he was able to render only occasional ministerial services. He continued his resi- 
dence in Jamaica until his death, April 27, 1867. 

One who knew him well wrote at his death, " Dr. Sayres has passed an event- 
ful and useful life. His general intelligence, his piety, his urbanity of manners, 
his charity and Christian liberality, are all too well known to require particular 
mention. He was one of the founders of the American Bible Society, and gave a 
helping hand to every good cause. His memory will long be cherished by the 
humble and oft-neglected poor, whom he was ever ready to assist with religious 
consolation and advice."

in Newark, N. J., where he died, unmarried, Dec. 31, 1895. 
A newspaper item reads : 

Through the granting of letters of administration of the estate of the late 
John J. Reid, who died on Dec. 31 last, the latter was found to have left a 
large fortune to be divided among his legal heirs. 

Mr. Reid resided in Newark a great many years. He conducted a varnish 
manufacturing establishment, at 354 Mulberry Street, and at his death resided 
with a widowed sister, Mrs. Sarah T. Doty, at 100 Walnut Street. 

Mr. Reid was known to be in comfortable circumstances during his life, 
but even his closest relations were astounded when they learned through 
the administrators, his nephews, William H. and Joseph R. Bonnell, who 
were associated with Mr. Reid in business, that the deceased left certificates 
of stock in the Newark and Elizabethport Gas Companies, the Second National 
Bank and other concerns, to the value of about $85,000. The administrators 
in looking over their late relative's effects, found a key, which, it was learned, 
by means of a tag attached to it, was the key to a strong box in the Second 
National Bank. Even the bank officials were surprised when the box was 
opened and $50,000 registered Government bonds, valued now at nearly 
$60,000, were disclosed. The inventory filed placed the personal value of the 
estate at $137,792.50. There is considerable real estate in addition to this.

"Dr. William N. Sayre, born in Southampton, L. I.; was a member of 
the church there, Aug. 25, 1843. Was graduated at Williams College, and 
the New York Academy of Medicine. Went to California among the pioneers 
to practise his profession. Notwithstanding his natural abilities, which were 
of a high order, and his skill acquired in study and hospital practise in New 
York, he was too modest a man to succeed in competition with the push and 
daring of inferior men. In disgust he threw into the Bay what few medicine 
books he had taken with him, abandoned his profession, and engaged in a 
quartz-crushing establishment, and lost his life by an accident in the mill. He 
lived a pure and noble life, and died lamented by all who knew him."

Harriet Lovett. He removed to Chicago, and was among the earliest settlers. 
He died Jan. 24, 1873. 
The Chicago " Tribune," of July 4, 1897, makes this reference to his widow : 

Mrs. Sayre of Mont Clare has lived at the site of her present home for sixty- 
three years. The ancient structure in which she took shelter and was guarded 
by friendly Indians during an Indian raid stands opposite her present hand- 
some residence. Mrs. Sayre tells a story of the early '40s, when surveyors 
first came to the neighborhood with compass and line prospecting a right of 
way for a railroad. She cooked dinner for the tired, mud-bespattered men, 
and wagered a goodly venture that no one present on that day would live to 
see a railroad laid in or about Chicago.

The spelling of the family name in the old country was Heys. He was finely 
educated in England. At the death of his father, his mother and he sailed 
for America; were wrecked off the coast of Spain, but were rescued, and 
reached New York. They settled at Lyons, Wayne Co., N. Y., where he 
married. He died March 15, 1880. His widow survived him nearly twelve 
years, dying Oct. 24, 189 1. Her children speak of her in the highest terms. 
In her girlhood she showed sterling qualities of character; became the main 
adviser of her stepfather in his business interests, and was a great friend and 
helper to all in trouble. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and, 
during the last year of her life, though eighty-three years of age, it is said that 
she was absent from only one regular service of the church and Sunday-school. 

CHILDREN. 

1 Ellen Hays,8 b. in Lyons, Sept. 13, ; m. Dec. 19, 1850, Horace 

Boardman Smith, formerly Justice of the Supreme Court of the State 
of New York. "He was born in Whittingham (Bennington), Vt, 
August 18, 1S26 ; was the son of a physician, Dr. Nathaniel Smith. 
He was graduated from Williams College in 1847 ; studied law in 
Elmira, N. Y., and was admitted to the bar in 1850. As a lawyer he 
excelled in those resources which come from profound study coupled 
with a high degree of legal acumen. He had a passion for legal 
scholarship and recondite reasoning. He was twice elected to Con- 
gress (1870 and 1872). The office and honor of judgeship came to 
him (1859) by appointment, at the very beginning of his legal career, 
and two months later the wisdom of the appointment was confirmed 
by vote of the people of Chemung. The closing years of his life 
were honored by a unanimous selection (1S83), by the people of this 
district, to a seat upon the supreme bench of the State of New York, 
and though compelled by ill health to resign the position, he had the 
satisfaction, granted to but few men, of seeing his own son made his 
successor, first by the selection of a political opponent, Gov. Hill, and 
then by the unanimous choice of the people.

" It was while he held a seat in Congress that the famous 'back pay ' 
measure came up, and Congressman Smith was one of the minority 
who voted against the measure, and, when it was finally passed, refused 
to accept the increased compensation, but presented it to the Orphans' 
Home of Elmira. He introduced the first resolution in Congress direct- 
ing the President to make efforts to settle differences between nations. 

" He looked well after the interests of old soldiers during his term, 
introducing many private pension bills for their relief. 

"Judge Smith was a man of deep religious convictions. He was 
greatly interested in his church, the First Presbyterian. He was also 
a lover of literature, and was especially fond of poetry and works of a 
philosophical character. In the height of his physical powers there 
was no better public speaker than he in this part of the State. His 
addresses were polished and strong. They exhibited the culture of 
a well-stored mind, abounded in the keenest wit, and never failed to 
create an impression. One of his most notable speeches was on the 
occasion of Washington's birthday, Feb. 22, 1862, when the war excite- 
ment was at its height. It was regarded as one of the most remarkable 
speeches ever made in Elmira."

959 MATTHEW ? SAYRE, born May 13, 1795 ; married first, February 24, 
1825, Mrs. Lucretia C. Hedges Briggs, of Sag Harbor, who died in 1861; 
second, February 19, 1862, Harriet King, daughter of Hon. Perkins King, of 
Freehold. 

At the breaking out of the War of 1812, being then only seventeen years old, 
he enlisted in a Greene County Regiment, and served till the close of the war. 

After farming a little while, he shipped on a whaler from Sag Harbor, and sub- 
sequently became a captain. Many missionaries were passengers with him to the 
Sandwich Islands, and he was very popular with them. 

The Sandwich Islanders were at that time in a state of semi-barbarism. On 
one occasion a chief, with several of his men, boarded Captain Sayre's ship, it is 
supposed with the intention of murdering him and his crew, but were so kindly 
entertained that the chief took from his neck a large shell which he wore, and 
presented it to Captain Sayre, which was considered the highest honor he could 
confer. 

One of the Sandwich Islands was named for Captain Sayre. 

At an advanced age he retired from the sea, and made his home at Cairo, N. Y. 
In 1850 he was appointed superintendent of the Sailors' Home in New York, and 
held the position three years, with the highest appreciation of the Board for his 
admirable management. The Home had for many years been burdened with 
debt, and a final contribution from Captain Sayre in 1864 canceled it, as is shown 
by an article in the " Sailors' Magazine " of May, 1864 : 

" We are most happy to make the announcement that the last shot which set- 
tled the sinking iron-clad pirate that has for twenty-two years been threatening 
the Sailors' Home, was the five-hundred-pounder from the locker of the old blind 
sailor." 

He died October 1, 1875. His monument, in the village cemetery of Cairo, 
is a block of white marble, on the top of which rests a book representing a closed 
log-book, indicating that his life work was done. On one corner is carved a 
compass with the four cardinal points. 

On the front face of the block are the words " My Husband."

1093 JAMES HARVEY 7 SAYRE, born January 26, 1797; married De- 
cember 27, 1818, Sarah G. Holton, who was born in Maysville, Mason County, 
Ky., November 17, 1800, and died December 18, 1879. 

" He was educated at the Hudson Academy, and left home when nineteen years 
of age, for Maysville, Mason County., Ky., a stranger in a strange land, with only his 
clothes, a few books and a dollar and a half in his pocket, half of which sum he 
gave to a fellow-traveler who was sick and without money. While waiting at 
the hotel, considering what was best to do, an old gentleman, Jesse Holton, came 
in. They soon became engaged in conversation, and each learned the wants of 
the other. Mr. Sayre wanted a school; Mr. Holton wanted a teacher. They 
rode around and made up a school, and he continued teaching in that neighbor- 
hood for two years, when he married one of his pupils, Sallie Holton, a niece of 
his first employer. Ill health sent him to Boone County, Ky., where he cleared 
a space in the timbered land and built a rude cabin, and for three years cultivated 
the land. But the rude life and hardships sent him back to Mason County, 
where for several years he resumed his teaching. He took up the study of Latin, 
without a teacher, and became so proficient that he could teach it in his 
school. Subsequently he removed to Warsaw, Gallatin County, Ky., and taught 
for three years, when, through ill health, he gave up teaching, and took a farm four 
miles from Warsaw, where with his wife and eight children he spent his remain- 
ing years. When nearly seventy-five years of age he took up the study of 
French, and in less than a year could translate and read understandingly to 
himself, and in two years could translate and read aloud as well as in English. 
He subscribed for a French paper for many years, and those hearing him read 
would not believe it was printed in French. This also he did without a teacher. 

" He was a Whig, a slave-owner and Southern sympathizer, though he took 
no part in the Civil War. He had his second eyesight at eighty years of age, and 
could read by lamplight without glasses." He died in Warsaw, July 19, 1885.

died about 1884. At the age of twenty-three he was prosecuting a course of 
study in the legal profession. In the prospect of an opening he came from Greene 
County, locating at Pleasant Valley, Dutchess County, N. Y. He was led to 
give up the legal profession, and entered upon a course of preparation for the 
gospel ministry. He was the pioneer of Presbyterianism in all that region. In a 
territory forty miles by twenty, comprising the northern part of Dutchess and 
the southern part of Columbia counties, there was then but one Presbyterian 
church, that of Amenia City (now Smithfield). The church of Pine Plains was 
organized May 4, 1834, with seven members. 

In September, 1833, he began his regular ministry in the Presbyterian church 
of Pine Plains, N. Y., and resigned September, 1883, closing a successful past- 
orate of a half century. He was considered one of the most brilliant men intel- 
lectually that ever occupied a Dutchess County pulpit. He died at Pine Plains, 
November 27, 1896.

Dear Brother : At a special meeting of the officers and teachers of the Marcy

of our beloved school. 

" That we unanimously desire that he should withdraw his resignation, and

efforts souls may be converted, saints built up, and the great work God has 
given us to do shall go on and prosper as the Lord would have it. 

" Resolved, That a committee representing the different departments of the 
school be appointed to present these resolutions to Brother Banta, and urge 
him to withdraw his resignation." 

H. E. Parson, 

Chairman of Committee. ■ 

Brooklyn, Sunday evening, June 5th, 1898. 
Mr. Theo. M. Banta: 

Dear Brother: It is with a feeling of sadness and sorrow that we, as teach- 
ers and scholars of the Sunday-school of the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church, 
are called upon to accept your resignation as our Superintendent. 

After a continual, faithful service of twenty-six years, we deeply regret that 
you feel compelled to bring this long and happy union to a close.

Dear Brother, you have been ever faithful and true to the trust God imposed 
upon you. You have done your work nobly and well; it is an enduring 
monument that will live long after you and your associates have been called 
by the Master to come up higher. 

You have seen the little Sunday-school which you organized twenty-six 
years ago, on the other corner, with a membership of sixty-five, grow to the 
great school of to-day, and while we know that these years have been full of 
anxious care and hard work, yet we also know that your heart has been full 
of gladness as you have seen this marvelous growth which, under God, you 
have been so largely instrumental in bringing about. 

As one after another of the scholars from the school has been baptized into 
the Church, many encouraged to take this step through your personal effort, 
we know you have rejoiced with them. 

You have seen, as the outcome of this small beginning, the establishment 
of a church of Jesus Christ which has been wonderfully blessed in its work; 
and you have also seen a church and Sunday-school building erected, which 
for usefulness and efficiency has no superior in this country. 

We rejoice that we have had the privilege of an association with you in this 
grand and glorious work, and we want now to express to you our love, confi- 
dence and Christian esteem ; also our appreciation of the noble work done, in 
which you, under God, have been the prime instrument. 

It is our earnest hope that you will always consider the Marcy Avenue 
Sunday-school your Sunday-school Home, and often be present with us, re- 
membering that you occupy a place in our hearts that will always insure you 
a glad welcome. 

Our thoughts and our prayers will ever be with you, dear Brother, and we 
pray that Heaven's choicest blessings may attend your pathway. 

"The Lord bless thee and keep thee; the Lord make his face shine upon 
thee and be gracious unto thee: the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee 
and give thee peace." 

In behalf of the school : 
H. E. Parson, Herbert W. Heyer, 

E. B. Van Blskirk, Olive C. Swaney, 

Elsie Crandall Kerby, A. K. de Guiscard, 

Georgiana C. Holmes, J. M. Hudnut, 

Geo. H. Case, Committee. 

At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Marcy Avenue Baptist 
church called Sunday, June io, 1898, President John Hills in the chair, the 
Committee on Resolutions in regard to the resignation of Theodore M. Banta 
presented the following : 

" Resolved : That we accept the resignation of Mr. Theodore M. Banta from 
this Board with sincere regret, and desire to express our high appreciation of 
his services to the church during all the years of its existence. But for him the 
Church might never have been organized, and without his generous aid and 
earnest personal effort the present building would probably not have been 
erected. In view of his unequaled devotion for so many years, we think it only 
just that this resolution be entered in full on the books of the Church." 

On motion the same was unanimously adopted, and the Secretary directed 
to send a copy to Mr. Banta. 

D. M. Swaney, 

Secretary. 

Brooklyn, N. Y., July 1st, 1898. 
Mr. Theo. M. Banta, Brooklyn, N. Y. 

Dear Brother Banta : I beg to officially advise you that at the annual 
meeting of the officers and teachers of the Marcy Avenue Baptist Sunday- 
school held June 14, 1898, you were unanimously elected Superintendent 
Emeritus of the school for life. 

Fraternally yours,

CHILDREN. 

2581 WILLIAM WIRT ALLEN, 8 m. Aug. 13, 1857, in Montgomery, Ala., Susan 

Ball. He studied at Princeton, N. J. 

The following sketch appeared in the " Atlanta [Ga.] Journal " : 

William Wirt Allen entered the service of the Confederate States in 1861 as 
first lieutenant, and was for a time stationed at Pensacola, under command of 
Colonel, afterward Lieutenant-General Braxton Bragg. In 1862 he became 
colonel of First regiment Alabama cavalry, and was distinguished for gallan- 
try during Bragg's Kentucky campaign, including the engagements of Bear 
Wallow Horse Cave, and on the Mumfordville turnpike, at Green river. In 
the latter engagement Colonel Allen led the brilliant charge in which his lieu- 
tenant-colonel, T. B. Brown, was killed. This charge elicited the praise of 
even the Federal general against whose troops it was directed. In a charge 
at the battle of Perryville Colonel Allen was again wounded, and General 
Wheeler, in his official report, says : " This charge, one of the most brilliant 
of the campaign, was made in column by detachments of the First and Third 
Alabama, the gallant Colonels W. W. Allen and James Hagan being in advance." 

In the Murfreesboro campaign Colonel Allen led his regiment in the almost 
continuous cavalry fighting of December, '62, and January, '63 ; participated 
in Wheeler's famous rides around Rosecrans' army during the battle of Mur- 
freesboro, and the destruction of the Federal wagon-trains which so crippled 
Rosecrans that he was unable to advance for several months. 

At a critical stage of this battle one of the most brilliant charges of the war 
was made by Wheeler's First brigade, and conspicuous at the head of his 
regiment was the handsome and intrepid Allen, his sabre flashing high in the 
air. Suddenly his right hand was shattered and at the same moment his horse 
was killed. Mounting behind his bugler, he refused to be taken from the field 
until he was carried to the head of his column, and, holding his bloody hand 
aloft, several of his fingers dangling, he called upon his boys "to avenge this." 

In General Wheeler's official report of this campaign Colonel Allen was par- 
ticularly commended for gallantry, and while disabled he was promoted to 
rank of brigadier-general. 

During the retreat from Dalton to Atlanta, what was known as the "Con- 
federate Brigade," composed of the Third, Eighth (under Colonel J. S. Prather 
of Atlanta), Tenth and Twelfth Confederate regiments of cavalry, was com- 
manded by General Allen, and frequent mention is made in official reports of 
the important service rendered by this command in protecting the rear and 
flanks of General Johnston's army. In the engagements at Cassville, Pick- 
ett's Mill and Decatur General Allen and his brigade bore a conspicuous part. 

Judged by its results and considering the disparity of the forces engaged, 
probably the greatest cavalry exploit of the war was the destruction by Wheel- 
er's cavalry, numbering less than 5,000 men, of the gigantic raids sent out by 
General Sherman during the battles around Atlanta; these numbered over 
9,000 picked men under Federal Generals Garrard, Stoneman and McCook. 
Garrard's division of 3,800 was driven back to his main army by General Kelly 
.with less than half the enemy's numbers; McCook was overtaken near Newnan, 
and of the 3,600 comprising his division less than a third got out; Stoneman 
was captured near Macon by Generals Iverson, Allen and Crews. Stoneman 
claims that he was surrounded, but, as he had 2,300 men and was captured by 
1,300, it reminds one of Pat's explanation of how he captured three of the 
enemy: "Bedad, I surrounded 'em !"

In the latter part of August, 1864, and during Wheeler's raid into middle Ten- 
nessee, in which the gallant Kelly was killed, General Allen was given com- 
mand of Martin's division and commanded a division fighting Sherman through 
Georgia and the Carolinas, and in February, 1865, he was promoted to major- 
general and confirmed by the Confederate Senate. 

At Waynesboro, Ga., November 28, 1864, General Allen had two horses 
shot under him and was painfully wounded, but continued on duty. At Aiken, 
S. C., Allen's division was largely instrumental in saving the town from the 
ravages of the enemy, which service was gratefully acknowledged by Governor 
McGrath, of South Carolina, and rewarded by the presentation of a beautiful 
silk flag from the ladies of Aiken. 

In the attack on Kilpatrick's camp, near Fnyetteville, N. C, in March, 1865, 
the author of" Hampton and His Cavalry," in speaking of the charge made 
by Butler's division of Hampton's command, quotes from General Kilpat- 
rick's official report, in which that officer says : " I found my men flying before 
the most formidable cavalry charge I had ever witnessed." Kilpatrick's 
report does contain the language quoted, but it says the charge was made by 
Allen's, Hume's, and Butler's divisions. 

The same author also refers to a peculiar piebald stallion and a magnificent 
black horse captured by Butler's division from General Kilpatrick. I have 
General Wheeler's word for it that his Texans captured the stallion and gave 
it to him, while there is a gentleman living in Atlanta who saddled the black 
horse for General Allen to ride after the latter's horse had been killed. 

From the foregoing it will be seen that General Allen was in no sense a 
parlor knight, but was in the front of battle from Kentucky to the Caro- 
linas. As brave as a Paladdin,he was as modest as he was brave. He shrank 
from making himself conspicuous, was only prominent when a battle was on, 
and then was always to be found in the thickest of it. While few officers in 
our army had as brilliant a career, few are less widely known. But his mem- 
ory lives in the hearts of hundreds of the veterans who followed him in the 
days which tried men's souls. 

The beautiful flag presented by the ladies of Aiken is preserved by his fam- 
ily, and his old battle-flag and bullet-riddled coat are deposited in the corner- 
stone of the Confederate monument at Montgomery. 

After the war General Allen was content to be a loyal and quiet citizen, and 
followed planting for a time. Later he became connected with a railroad, 
with headquarters in New Orleans, was a member of the city government of 
Montgomery, and was adjutant-general of Alabama under President Cleve- 
land. He was one of the organizers and the first president of the Confederate 
Survivors' Association of Montgomery. In 1893 he moved to Sheffield, Ala., 
where he died, November 21, 1893, and his battle-scarred body was laid to 
rest in Florence, on the banks of the beautiful river, over which he had so 
often led his troopers to battle.

States Senator Morgan, who was born in Huntsville, Ala., March 28, 181 8. 

The " Montgomery Daily Advertiser" of April 8, 1888, contains the following : 

" Daniel Sayre came to Montgomery in 1820, when a boy of twelve years. 
He became the editor of the ' Talladega Watchtower ' in 1844. He afterwards 
moved to Tuskegee, where he edited and published the ' Tuskegee Republican,' 
the Whig organ of the staunch old Whig County of Macon. He occupied this 
position till 1854, when he was elected Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of 
Masons of Alabama, when he removed to Montgomery, where he lived till his 
death. He held this Secretaryship consecutively for nearly thirty-four years. He 
was also for many years Grand Secretary of the Grand Chapter, and Grand Re- 
corder of the Grand Council and the Grand Commandery of the State." 

He was widely known and greatly loved for his kindness of heart, his benevo- 
lence and his good, sound judgment. He was a man of strict integrity, and was a 
tower of strength to the Masonic fraternity. He died at Montgomery, Ala., April 
7, 1888.

2620 VOZIFERI, 8 b. in Springfield township, Essex Co., N. J., May 13, 1830; m. 

1st, April 1, 1861, Isabella Cook, daughter of Benjamin Cook, of Hanover, 
N. J., who died about 1865 ; 2d, Mary Kolster ; 3d, Anna Mary Cook. He 
was a farmer in Springfield, N. J., and was a noted hunter. He died in 1895. 
A newspaper of Newark gave the following account of Mr. Sayre : 

In the death of Voziferi Sayre, who was buried yesterday, Springfield loses 
its most noted character. " Uncle Zip," as he was familiarly called, was known 
to every man, woman and child of Springfield, and to many beyond the boun- 
daries of the little village. Every sportsman who has hunted on the Spring- 
field mountain during the past half century knew him, for he was a fine shot, 
and many times the sportsmen have been entertained by his quaint talk and 
stories and partaken of his hard cider. 

" Uncle Zip " was born on the mountain sixty-five years ago, within a mile 
of the house where he died. His father's farm was on the top of the moun- 
tain, near the road that leads from the county road, near Springfield, to Summit. 
The house set back in the woods a mile from the road. His father, Anthony 
Sayre, was unusually strict with his children, even for those days, and never 
allowed them to have companions, or to leave the farm unless he was with 
them. They were never allowed to attend school, and even when he took any 
of them to the village, which was very rare, he would not permit them to 
speak to any one, even though they were spoken to. 

There were three boys and a girl in the family, " Uncle Zip " being the eld- 
est. Thrown upon their own resources for companionship and amusement, 
the children grew up very "odd," as the neighbors called them. They were 
absolutely without any knowledge of the ways of the world outside of the 
boundary fence of the mountain farm. Even their speech had an odd drawl, 
and their words were accented so peculiarly that it was difficult to understand 
them. This peculiarity of speech clung to " Uncle Zip " all his life. 

When he was about eighteen years old he ran away from home, and went 
to work for a farmer near Springfield. He was very thrifty, and had saved 
enough from his earnings when he was married, a few years later, to buy a 
small mountain farm near his father's. 

A thorough hunter was " Uncle Zip," and it was perhaps through this that 
he came to be so widely known. He knew every path and thicket on the 
mountains between Springfield and Bound Brook. He could go out and 
come back with a well-filled bag when other hunters would return empty- 
handed. All the choice grounds for rabbit, partridge, quail, coon and 'possum 
he knew, and that sportsman who was fortunate enough to be allowed to ac- 
company " Uncle Zip " was happy. It was a favor not lightly bestowed, and 
when given was appreciated. 

Next to his love of hunting " Uncle Zip " loved to "swap." It made but 
little difference what was traded — horses, cows, wagons or farming imple- 
ments — he was ever ready for a trade, and that he was not slow in driving a 
bargain many who have tried to take advantage of his supposed innocence 
and ignorance can testify. He was Overseer of the Roads in one of the 
Springfield districts for many years, and was frequently a member of the petit 
jury, and his colleagues on the jury always respected his straightforward hon- 
esty and hard common sense. 

The universal esteem in which " Uncle Zip " was held was plainly attested 
by the large number of people who attended his funeral. A widow and two 
sons survive him, and he leaves an estate estimated at $15,000.

1328 ANNA BELLE 7 SAYRE, born June 4, 1787, in Morgantown, Pa. 
(now W. Va.) ; married January 16, 1802, Henry Roush, who was born Novem- 
ber 24, 1782, and died June 14, 1865, at Letart, O. She died April 3, 1892 (one 
account states January 31, 1892), aged one hundred and five years. The following 
newspaper clipping refers to her : 

" Mrs. Annie Roush has died at Letart, a few miles from Parkersburg, W. Va., 
aged nearly one hundred and five years. It is thought, says the " Washington Star," 
that she was the head of the largest family in the world and the only woman in 
this country who lived to see her sixth generation. Mrs. Roush was born at Mor- 
gantown, Pa., June 4, 1787, when Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson were 
planning the Constitution. Her father was David Sayre. In 1801 Mr. Sayre 
started west and settled above Pomeroy, on the Virginia side. Here he resided

several years, finally moving up the river and crossing to where Letart now 
stands. In 1802 Annie married Henry Roush, and was the mother of thirteen 
children. The first child, Sarah, married Thomas Coleman and became the 
mother of twelve children. The next, Elizabeth, married Henry Wolf and had 
sixteen children. The third, Lydia, married a Mr. McClain, and after his death 
married John Wagoner. It is through her children that Mrs. Roush could trace 
her descent to the sixth generation. The fourth child, Annie, had an even dozen 
of children. The next four children were girls, and their progeny numbered forty- 
eight. The ninth died when he was young. The next two were girls and had 
twenty-one children. The last two children were boys and have seventeen chil- 
dren around their boards. The second daughter of Lydia Wagoner, who was 
Mrs. Roush's third child, married a Mr. Hazlett. Their eldest son, David, is the 
father of six children, and his eldest daughter's (Mary's) child, Nannie, aged 
about five years, has the unique distinction of living at the same time as her great- 
great-great-grandmother. Mrs. Roush's grandchildren numbered 135, and the 
total number of her great-grandchildren is not less than 500. The number of her 
descendants is over 2000, although the exact number cannot be ascertained."

1385 JAMES 7 SAYRE, born January 25, 1799, in Milton, Saratoga County, 
N. Y. ; married August 11, 1824, Amelia Margaret Van Ranst, daughter of Cor- 
nelius and Anna White Van Ranst, who was born in New York, September 25, 
1798, and died March 17, 1892. He was a merchant of Utica, and one of its 
pioneer business men. In a volume published by Dr. Bagg, entitled " The 
Pioneers of Utica," there appears the following reference to Mr. Sayre : 

" In this connection let us mention also one still a resident, who has been 
most of his life engaged mainly in the hardware trade, James Sayre, a native 
of Milton, Saratoga County, N. Y., where he was born in 1799, came to Utica in 
1818, and entered the store of John H. Handy. With him he soon became a 
partner, and on the death of Mr. Handy assumed the sole management, com- 
pleting also the erection of the National Hotel, which the latter had begun. His 
first subsequent partner was Philip Thurber, and this connection was followed, 
about 1835, by one with Alanson House, which lasted until 1849. ^ n I &37 ne 
entered into an arrangement for dealing in New York also. The firm known by 
the title of Townsend, Sayre &: Clark, and in which Mr. House was likewise in- 
terested, lasted until 1852. Since that time Mr. Sayre has carried on business in 
company with his sons Charles and Theodore, though bodily infirmities have 
recently withdrawn him from active duty. At first his place of business was next 
below the canal on the east side of Genesee, but when this channel was widened, 
and his store encroached upon, he sought the land whereon stands his present 
store, put up a wooden building and subsequently the fine brick one he now 
occupies. He has always been closely attentive to business, and has reaped the 
reward due to such devotion by the possession of a handsome fortune, and, what 
is more, the full confidence of the community for his integrity and business capa- 
city. Except that he was alderman in 1830, he has held no municipal office, but 
has served considerably as a bank director, at first in the United States branch, 
then for a short time in the Ontario branch, and later for many years in the 
Oneida National, of which he is president. For many years he has been a 
trustee of the First Presbyterian Church, and for no little period its treasurer. 
He has also been president of the Utica Cemetery Association. In 1824 he was 
married to Miss Van Ranst, of New York. They are the parents of three sons 
and two daughters, viz.: Charles, Anna (Mrs. Byxbe), James, Caroline and 
Theodore, the last being the present senator from this district."

2S61 CHARLES HENRYS b. in Utica, N. V., Sept. 5, 1825 ; m. 1854, Leonora F. 
Guinguignes, who was born in Utica, Feb. 28, 1834, and still resides there. He 
was for nearly fifty years a prominent citizen and business man of Utica. He 
never sought public office, but served his ward once in the Common Council. 
He succeeded his father as Director in the Oneida National Bank. He was a 
member of the Fort Schuyler Club and the Oneida Historical Society. He 
was a Trustee of the First Presbyterian Church, and was very active in church 
work. It was said of him : " During a life which nearly filled the allotted time 
of human existence he preserved a character without reproach, and gained the 
love and esteem of all who knew him." 

He died April 27, 1894. A beautiful baptismal font has recently been placed 
in the Sayre Memorial Church, in memory of Charles H. and James L. Sayre, 
by their sister, Mrs. Anna Sayre Byxbe, who has also presented this church with 
two memorial windows, one in memory of her husband and child, and the 
other in memory of her sister, Caroline A. Sayre.

who was born in Delaware, O., March 27, 1817, and died in Brooklyn, N. Y., 
June 6, 1869. He was a broker in New York. His widow died in Utica, 
N. V., Nov. 1, 1900. 

A Utica paper published the following obituary of Mrs. Byxbe: 

After an illness of four months, Mrs. Anna C. Byxbe entered into rest last 
evening at the home of her brother, Hon. Theodore S. Sayre, 310 Genesee 
St. Quiet, uneventful, but beautiful was the life that was ended, and tender is 
the chord touched in the breasts of hundreds who have listened for words oi 
hope and cheer from the sick-room as the days and weeks of her illness have 
gone by. As gentle as is the dawn of a new day, so was the passing of her 
spirit into the land of perfect peace. 

Anna C. Sayre was born in this city June 10, 1828, the daughter of James 
and Amelia M. Sayre. Her education was begun at the Ladies' Seminary in 
this city, and completed at Mr. Abbott's School in New York. She married 
George E. Byxbe of New York, and resided in that city until 1880. Mr. Byxbe 
died in 1869. During the past twenty years of her residence in Utica the 
beauty of Mrs. Byxbe's life has left its impress upon the community. She was 
a member of the First Presbyterian Church and the Women's Missionary So- 
ciety. Her relations with both were earnest and active. She was also one of the 
managers of the Utica Orphan Asylum and the Young Women's Christian 
Association. The greatest pleasures that life afforded her consisted of doing 
good unto others. Possessing abundant means, she was enabled to relieve 
distress and contribute to the wants of the poor. Although interested in and 
connected with organized charities, yet it was through the quieter and less os- 
tentatious channels of private giving that she was able to accomplish the most 
good and found the greatest satisfaction and pleasure. The beauty of her 
character, the gentleness of her nature, the depth of her consideration for the 
wants and the well-being of others inspired the love of all whose fortune it 
was to know her. Association with her was a refining, ennobling influence. 
Young women upon whom fortune had not smiled were the especial objects of 
her attention, and many are there to-day who will rise up and call her blessed. 
Her life was an inspiration for good, and the community may well sincerely 
mourn the deep loss which her death has brought. Mrs, Byxbe is survived 
by her brother, Hon. Theodore S. Sayre, and by a number of nieces and 
nephews.

H. and Sheldon. Although his business life in Utica was alike honorable 
and successful, it is in public life that he has been most prominently before 
the community- 
He was elected Alderman in 1863, and held the office eight years. In 1874 
he was elected Mayor, and declined a renomination the following year. While 
serving as Mayor he was successful in establishing the Board of Police and 
Fire Commissioners. In 1875 he was elected State Senator from the 19th 
District. In 1886 he was appointed a member of the Board of Police and 
Fire Commissioners; he also held the position of Civil Service Commissioner. 
He has always taken a deep interest in the moral welfare and advancement of 
the city, and has fulfilled with honor and fidelity the many public trusts be- 
stowed upon him. He is a Director of the Utica Savings Bank, also of the 
City Water Works ; and was a Director of the Utica and Black River R. R. Co. 
until the lease of that road to the Rome, Watei town and Ogdensburg R. R. Co. 
He is one of the Advisory Board of the Orphan Asylum, of the Home for 
Aged Men, and of the Women's Christian Association ; is President of the 
Bible Society; and is a member of the Oneida Historical Society and the Fort 
Schuyler Club. He was formerly identified with the First Presbyterian 
Church but now with the Sayre Memorial Church, which beautiful edifice was 
erected by him in memory of his parents, and dedicated Jan. 25, 1884, the an- 
niversary cf his father's birth. This is one of the most notable individual 
benefactions given to the city of Utica. He has been an Elder, and a faithful 
teacher in the Sunday-school almost from its origin.

1404i JAMES 7 SAYRE. Shourd's " History of Fenwick Colony " mentions 
this James as son of James 6 by his first marriage. We have not been able to find 
any record of this James, and as his father's will, dated April 7, 1815, divided the 
property between his children without naming them, and the property was di- 
vided between the two daughters, it is to be presumed that James 7 — if there 
were such son — died leaving no children. 

1404J RACHEL 7 SAYRE, born November 7, 1790. The statement on page 
97 (based on Shourd's History), that she was a child by the second marriage of her 
father, is an error. His wife Rachel Sheppard died November 10, 1790^11 the 
twenty-ninth year of her age, when her child was only three days old, and was 
buried in the cemetery at Canton, N. J. Rachel" married April 20, 1808, Wil-

610 Eighth Gen.: Ephraim? William? David, 4, David? Daniel* 

He learned the trade of printer in the " Republican " office under Col. 
Joseph Cooke. After completing his trade he entered Waynesburg College. 

In July, 1862, he enlisted in Company F, 85th Pennsylvania Volunteer In- 
fantry, and served until the close of the Civil War. He was under fire in 
every action with his company, participating in several of the great battles of 
Virginia, and served throughout in three of the heaviest sieges of the war, — 
Charleston, S. C, and Petersburg and Richmond, Va. He was promoted to 
Sergeant and then to First Sergeant, and bravely closed his military career by 
commanding the veteran detachment of his regiment at the storming of Peters- 
burg, April 2, 1865. He also stood with them at the front at Appomattox on 
the morning of the fateful ninth of April when the bugle sounded " Cease 
firing," and the Confederacy went down in story. Mustered out before he 
was yet twenty years of age, he came home and, when still in his minority, 
bought the old material and good will of the "Greene County Republican " 
and on its ruins erected the "Waynesburg Republican." After about two 
years and a half of successful newspaper work, he sold the paper and attended 
college again for a short time. 

After removing from Waynesburg to Indiana, as he did after his marriage, 
Mr. Sayers entered the Indiana State University Law School and graduated 
from it in 1870. He again engaged in newspaper work, which he continued 
for a few years, and then entered his father's office, as a law partner, in 1874. 
He has been in constant practice here since, and has been remarkably success- 
ful, his clientage being one of the largest and most lucrative of any of the 
attorneys at our bar. As a criminal lawyer, Mr. Sayers in recent years has 
won an enviable reputation, and has conducted his civil practice with equal 
success. His practice has also been considerable both in the United States 
and Supreme Courts. . . . 

Of his political career little need be said, as it is well known. He was hon- 
ored with the nomination of his party as their candidate for Congress in 1880, 
in the old Fayette-Westmoreland-Greene district ; represented the same dis- 
trict in 1884 as delegate to the Republican National Convention in Chicago, 
and voted for the nomination of Blaine for President; was a candidate tor 
appointment to the office of Law Judge in 1887 under the new Additional 
Law Judge Act, but was defeated by Hon. Nathaniel Ewing, whom he after- 
wards nominated in conference and assisted to elect. 

He was a candidate for Additional Law Judge at the primaries in 1893, 
which, after a close contest, resulted in the nomination of R. F. Downey, Fsq. 
He has been elected numerous times to local offices, — burgess, school direc- 
tor, etc., — all of which he filled faithfully and capably. , 

In 1895 he was nominated by the Republicans for President Judge of the 
Thirteenth Judicial District and was duly elected.

County Independent," and carried on the printing and publishing business for 
eight years. He had the first steam-printing office in that county. He and his 
partner, William H. Noble, started the "Nelson County Examiner " at Liv- 
ingston, Va., which they sold soon after, and which is now the only newspaper 
in that county. In 1877 he emigrated with a New York, New Jersey and 
Texas colony of 150 people to Rice, Tex., where he bought a farm in 1878, 
improved it, and sold it, a few years later, to return to the journalistic field, 
serving on several papers, and subsequently buying the " News " printing- 
office in Hubbard City, Hill Co., Tex. Here he carried on a successful busi- 
ness for eight years, till overwork caused ill health, when he returned to his 
native State, and (1900) lives on the old farm and in the house where he was 
married in 1S68, writing for the papers and raising fancy stock.

lect, and it seemed as though a strong will power kept her alive through a re- 
markably long, active and useful career. 

" She was for more than forty years a widow, and during a good part of that time 
the manager of a large farm, where she always extended generous hospitality to a 
wide circle of relatives and friends. Her wonderful memory and remarkable 
story-telling faculty made her especially attractive to the children, by whom she 
was always surrounded, and her strong faith and Christian charity enabled her to 
exert a sweet influence over all with whom she came in contact."

1723 LEWIS ALBERT 7 SAY RE, born February 29, 1820; married Jan- 
uary 25, 1849, Eliza Ann Hall, who was born January 19, 1822, and died 
January 6, 1894. The following, with some changes, is from a sketch published 
a few years ago. 

Lewis Albert Sayre was born at Bottle Hill (now Madison), Morris County, 
N. L He received his primary education at the local academy, and was subse- 
quently placed under the tuition of a cousin, Edward A. Stiles, a graduate of Yale 
and at a later period Superintendent of Public Education for New Jersey, who at 
that time presided over Wantage Seminary at Deckertown, N. J. He spent two 
years at that institution, and then went to live with an uncle, David A. Sayre, a 
banker, in Lexington, Ky. He attended Transylvania University, and after pass- 
ing through the full course of study was graduated in 1839. 

His uncle had hoped that he would devote his life to the ministry, but the 
gifts of nature and a set purpose drew him in another direction. Medicine was 
his ambition, and, going East again, he began its study under Dr. David Green 
of New York. He then entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and in 
1842 received the degree of Doctor of Medicine, presenting, at graduation, a 
thesis on " Spinal Irritation " that was recognized as an evidence of unusual 
ability, and was published in the " Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery." 

Dr. Sayre immediately received the appointment of prosector of surgery, 
under Professor Willard Parker, in the institution from which he had just grad- 
uated, and in 1852, being compelled to resign because of his extensive practice, 
he was appointed emeritus prosector. In 1853 he was appointed surgeon to 
Bellevue Hospital, and in 1859 surgeon to the Charity Hospital on Blackwell's 
Island, and of this institution he became consulting surgeon in 1873. He was 
one of the prime movers in the organization of the Bellevue Hospital Medical 
College in 1861, and upon the formation of its faculty was made professor of 
orthopaedic surgery and fractures and luxations/and afterward of clinical surgery, 
which chairs he filled till the time of his death. 

He was also one of the founders of the New York Pathological Society, 
and active in the formation of the New York Academy of Medicine and the 
American Medical Association, and was elected vice-president of the latter in 
1866, and president in 1880. The address delivered by Dr. Sayre at the thirty- 
first annual session held at New York in June of that year, and published in the 
transactions of the association, is a model of its kind, in its terseness and clearness 
of expression and as illustrative of his views upon important questions. 

In 1866 he was appointed resident physician of the city of New York, and 
made great efforts for the improvement of the hygienic conditions of the city. His 
reports to the Board of Health upon cholera, compulsory vaccination, drainage, 
sewerage, and other questions of vital import, show a careful consideration of the 
best interests of the community and a thorough knowledge of the subject of hygiene. 

In 1854, he performed the operation for "Morbus Coxarius," or hip-joint dis- 
ease, being the first American surgeon who had performed the operation with 
successful results. This was reported in the " New York Journal of Medicine " for 



634 Eighth Gen.: Archibald* Ephraim^Danielf Daniel? Joseph? 

January, 1855. In 1876 he was appointed by the American Medical Association 
a delegate to the International Medical Congress held at Philadelphia during the 
Centennial. Before that body he read a paper on " Morbus Coxarius," and per- 
formed the operation before the Congress, at the conclusion of which Professor 
Lister remarked : " I feel that this demonstration would of itself have been a suf- 
ficient reward for my voyage across the Atlantic." Dr. Sayre has successfully per- 
formed the operation for this disease more than one hundred times. 

In 187 1 Dr. Sayre made a visit to Europe, and widened and extended his 
professional fame on that side of the sea. By special invitation he lectured upon 
hip-joint disease and its remedy before several medical societies, who extended a 
warm welcome and greeted his demonstrations with marked enthusiasm. 

In 1877 he was appointed by the American Medical Association a delegate to 
the British Medical Association held at Manchester, England, in the same year. 
The fame of his wonderful success in the healing of spinal affections had preceded 
him, and, as upon former occasions, he was invited to lecture before the leading 
medical societies and at the principal hospitals. In London he gave lectures 
upon, and demonstrations of, his mode of treatment at the University College 
Hospital, Guy's, St. Bartholomew's, St. Thomas's, and the Royal Orthopaedic. 
He subsequently accepted invitations from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, 
and Cork, at each of which places he lectured and gave demonstrations, being 
afforded abundant opportunities for public tests of the value of his mode of treat- 
ment and appliances, and being greeted with great cordiality by his professional 
brethren. At one of his lectures before the British Medical Association he re- 
ceived the most flattering acknowledgments of that body in an editorial comment 
by the "British Medical Journal" of August 18, 1877, as follows: "Resolutions 
were carried by acclamation warmly thanking him for the generous and devoted 
course which he pursued in spending so large an amount of time and trouble in 
bringing under the notice of the profession in this country the methods and details 
of proceedings by which he carried out his treatment of angular and lateral cur- 
vature of the spine, which constitutes a new era in that department of surgery, 
and of which the already proved success entitles us to say that this method of 
treatment will prove an inestimable boon to thousands of persons now and here- 
after." 

The " Lancet" of July 4, 1877, in concluding a most complimentary notice 
of his demonstrations and lectures at the University College Hospital of London, 
said : " We are not blind to the fact that much of the success obtained is due to 
Dr. Sayre's own rare physiological and mechanical skill, but his principles are 
as sound physically as their application is mechanically expert, and we thank him 
most heartily for the trouble he has taken in England to illustrate and enforce 
them." 

A correspondent of the "Medical Record," September 5, 1877, speaking of 
Dr. Sayre's demonstration at Manchester, says: " He spoke an hour and a half, 
in a manner which delighted these men amazingly. They expressed their gratifi- 
cation in the most complimentary terms which could be employed." 

While abroad upon this occasion Dr. Sayre prepared " An Illustrated Treatise 
on Spinal Disease and Lateral Curvature," which he dedicated to the medical 
profession of Great Britain, in grateful acknowledgment of their generous and 
cordial reception. 

As a lecturer, Dr. Sayre's style is very vigorous and clear, terseness and sim- 
plicity adding to its impressiveness, while his ready logic and power of illustration, 
with his rich fund of humor and fancy, stamp him as one peculiarly endowed for 
imparting instruction. His many professional writings are marked by the same 
characteristics, and seldom fail to convey the full meaning of the author. 



Eightk Gen.: Archibald? Ephraim? Daniel? Daniel? Joseph' 1 635 

Dr. Sayre has also published " A Practical Manual of the Treatment of Club- 
foot," which is highly esteemed and has already passed through several editions 
and " Lectures on Orthopaedic Surgery and Diseases of the Joints," a large 
volume of some five hundred pages, illustrated by nearly three hundred wood- 
cuts, which is regarded as the leading authority in that department of surgery, 
and which has not only reached its second edition, but has been translated into 
French and German, and is now being translated into Spanish. Some years ago 
the "British Medical Journal" (which is probably the highest authority recognized 
by the medical world), in speaking of a recent German translation of this work, 
said : " Dr. Sayre's methods have now such universally recognized currency and 
value throughout English-speaking countries, and are so well known and largely 
practised throughout Europe, that it is surprising these valuable lectures have not 
before been translated into German. Time, which tries all things, has set its seal 
of emphatic and general approval both on the principles and methods which 
Dr. Sayre has ingeniously devised, ably illustrated and successfully carried into 
practice. He has removed a great mass of painful, tedious and almost incurable 
complaints into the region of curable and easily managed affections. He has sub- 
stituted a simple and practical method, within the reach of every practitioner, for 
costly, complicated and heavy mechanical devices which were accessible only to 
the few; and which only imperfectly and occasionally fulfilled their objects. Few 
men have in their generation accomplished so much for the relief of humanity, 
and his name will go down to posterity, with that of Marion Sims, as among the 
most distinguished benefactors whom the American medical profession has pro- 
duced for the glory of medicine and the good of mankind during this century." 

Dr. Sayre's wonderful success is not only recognized abroad, but tributes of a 
high character are paid him continually here at home, in these latter days. Out 
of the many that might be chosen, we select one from the presidential address 
delivered by Dr. E. H. Bradford before the Orthopaedic Association, and pub- 
lished in the "Boston Medical Journal" of September 26, 1889. After giving a 
history of orthopaedic surgery from the beginning, he said : " It is scarcely neces- 
sary to mention the name of Dr. Sayre in connection with the subject of ortho- 
paedic surgery. His fame in this regard is world-wide ; one achievement alone 
would be sufficient for his renown — the well-known plaster corset; but it is 
not for this, o'r for his able advocacy of excision, for which alone are due our 
special thanks, so much as for the one great fact of the influence he has ex- 
erted. It is to him we owe the wide-spread interest which brings help to us 
from all over the country. Orthopaedic surgery is no longer — thanks to the 
energy of Dr. Sayre, his brilliancy as a writer and a teacher — a neglected branch 
of surgery. The surgeon no longer looks upon the treatment of orthopaedic cases 
as a forlorn hope of despairing surgical duty, or as a matter to be relegated to the 
commercial instincts of the maker of trusses. . . . Dr. Sayre has not only pro- 
moted the cause of the treatment of deformities : he has broadened the field of 
general surgery." 

He is also the inventor of several instruments which have proved efficient aids 
to the surgeon, among which is the uvulatome, club-foot shoe, scrotal clamp, 
flexible probe, improved tracheotomy tube, and various splints and appliances for 
use in orthopaedic surgery, which have proved of the highest value to the profes- 
sion and of remarkable utility in the treatment of deformities. 

During Dr. Sayre's first visit to Europe, in 1871-72, he was created a Knight 
of the Order of Wasa by Charles IV of Sweden, in recognition of his valuable 
services to science, the king being personally cognizant of the accuracy of his 
method of diagnosis and the success of his modes of treatment through the skill 
displayed by him in the case of a member of the royal family whom he was called 



636 Eighth Gen.: Archibald? Ephraim? Daniel? Daniel? s Joseph* 

upon to attend. The Medical Society of Norway concurred in this action of the 
Swedish monarch by electing Dr. Sayre an honorary member. 

Dr. Sayre was engaged in the various labors of bis profession, almost to his 
eightieth year, with a skill that had been heightened by experience and with a 
vigor strengthened by the success that had followed his labors in the past. In 
addition to the positions already enumerated, he was consulting surgeon to St. 
Elizabeth's Hospital and to the Northwestern Dispensary, a member of the 
American Medical Association, the New York Academy of Medicine, the County 
Medical Society, New York County Medical Association, New York State 
Medical Association, the New York Pathological Society, of which he had been 
president, an honorary member of the New Brunswick Society, and also an hon- 
orary member of those great European bodies, the British Medical Association, 
the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Edinburgh, and the Medical Society of St. 
Petersburg, Russia. He had been too busy in his profession to accept any 
positions of a civic or political character, except a service from 1845 to 1861 as 
Surgeon-General of the First Division of the New York Militia. 

Dr. Sayre's great success in his profession, as has already been said, was due 
primarily to a natural gift made effective in hard work ; while the special features 
of that success were an accuracy of observation, clearness and decision in making 
his diagnosis, promptness in execution when necessity required, and the courage 
to do what he thought ought to be done, and to abide by the consequences. A 
conversationalist of the highest order, social in his intercourse with his fellows, he 
was recognized as one of the leaders in the great world of medicine and surgery. 
The position to which he attained can be described in no better words, and 
certainly from no greater authority, than to quote the conclusion of the remarks 
made by the eminent Dr. S. D. Gross of Philadelphia, before the class of Bellevue 
Hospital Medical College, on January 10, 1880. Dr. Gross said: " Dr. Sayre has 
done wonders in the field of surgery. He has not only made a fame for himself 
throughout the civilized world, but has also made a fame for the nation. I shall 
probably not be here when he shall pass away, to write his biography — as I am 
a number of years older than he — to tell the world of his wonderful achieve- 
ments; but we will need none, for the world is already his biographer. It has 
erected to him a monument more durable than marble or brass! " 

He resided at the northeast corner of Fifth avenue and Thirtieth Street, New 
York, where he died Friday, September 21, 1900.

1739 EMILIUS KITCHELL' SAYRE, born in Madison, N. J., March 
20, 1810 ; married June 30, 1844, Elizabeth Stanford Pierson, who was born April 
14, 1823, in the city of New York. Her father was Elijah Pierson, a wholesale silk- 
merchant, who became prominent in missionary and philanthropic work. He was 
a Trustee of Brown University. She was a lineal descendant of Rev. Abraham 
Pierson, the first president of Yale College, and of John Alden, of Mayflower 
memory. She received the principal part of her education at the celebrated Brace 
Female School at Hartford, Conn. She left this school when sixteen years of 
age to live with relatives in New York City, and later in Madison, N. J., where 
she was married by Rev. Clifford S. Arms, in the Presbyterian Church. 

They made their new home in Lexington, Ky., where Emilius K. Sayre was 
esteemed and successful as a lawyer and as the adviser of his uncle David 
A. Savre, long known as a banker. Here she lived, admired and loved by a 
wide circle of friends and acquaintances, fitted to shine in society, yet devoted 
to her family and home. She was domestic to a degree considered remarkable 
even in that country of homes. Her best energies and affections were concen- 
trated in her home, and she gave herself entirely to her family. The dignity of 
her life was equaled only by the dignity of her death, which took place on June 
14, 1896, at her home near Monticello, Mo. 

Emilius Kitchell Sayre, A. M., LL. B., at his death was the oldest graduate of 
Amherst College, having graduated there in 1828. On leaving college he was ap- 
pointed professor of mathematics at the old Washington Institute, New York City. 

He studied law at Transylvania University, Lexington, Ky., 1831-33; was ad- 
mitted to the Kentucky Bar in 1833 ; practised in several Circuit Courts in Central 
Kentucky, and in the Court of Appeals and Federal Courts 1833-53. 

In 1853 he retired from practice and settled on a four-thousand acre estate in 
Missouri, where he lived until the time of his death. He was a delegate to the 



638 Eighth Gen.: Baxter? Ephraim? Daniel? Daniel? Joseph* 

Missouri State Constitutional Convention in 1861, and though he owned slaves 
he voted against secession and opposed all unconstitutional measures. He died 
at his home in Monticello, Mo., January 13, 1899, in his 90th year.

City; married April 17, 1850, Sarah Maria Reeve, daughter of Uzal Reeve, who 
was a son of William Reeve, of Springfield. 

His family removed to Newark, N. J., and he was educated at a school in 
Bloomfield. He entered the service of John C. Pitt, a grocer, and went with him 
to Little Falls, N. Y. Subsequently, in 1847, after serving his apprenticeship, he 
returned to Newark, and went into business with his brother, Stephen Meeker 
Sayre, in the wholesale grocery business, and the firm continued till the death of 
the latter. 

He represented the old First Ward in the Common Council for two terms from 
1872 to 1875, and was a conservative and able member of that body. He was 
a Republican. 

He was an active churchman, and officer in the Second Presbyterian Church. 
Was ruling Elder for more than thirty years, and held that office and the Clerk- 
ship of the Sessions of the church till his death. He was Superintendent of the 
Sunday-school for over twenty years. He died November 2, 1897, and was 
buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. 

The following resolution was adopted by the Session of the Second Presby- 
terian Church : 

In the providence of God, our dear brother, James Reeve Sayre, has been 
translated from the earthly into the heavenly kingdom. In view of his long and 
intimate connection with this church, extending over a period of fifty-five years, 
during forty-three years of which he has been a faithful member of the Session; 
and in view of his work in the Sabbath -school, both as teacher and superinten- 
dent, and in view of his devoted Christian life, so full of gentleness and love and 
all the graces of the Spirit ; therefore be it 

Resolved, That while we bow with loving obedience to the will of our 
Heavenly Father, and recognize His goodness and love in this dispensation, 
whereby He has given rest and peace and joy forevermore to His servant; nev- 
ertheless, we feel a deep sense of loss in the removal of one whom we had learned 
to love and trust and lean upon; one whom we esteem it a blessing to have 
known in Christian fellowship and Christian service ; and be it further 

Resolved, That we sympathize most deeply with the bereaved family, com- 
mending them in prayer to the all-sufficient grace of God; and that these resolu- 
tions be transmitted to the family, be published in the Newark " Daily Adver- 
tiser " and the New York " Evangelist," and be entered on the Sessional records 
of the church. 

His will, which was filed in the Surrogate's office in Newark, dated October 
14, 1897, names four of his employees remembered by bequests. The remainder 
of the estate went to his family.

Other Sayres. 

While the material used in the foregoing pages was being collected a large 
amount of matter accumulated pertaining to Sayre families which could not be 
connected with the line of Thomas of Leighton Buzzard, which alone is the sub- 
ject of this volume. The name of Sayre, in its various renderings, has been com- 
mon in England for several hundred years, and, as was to be expected, persons 
bearing the name have been found among the emigrants to America from the ear- 
liest times to the present. 

As a curious coincidence it may be mentioned that among the replies received 
in answer to the circular sent out requesting information was one from Thomas 
Sayer living at Rigby, Idaho, who was born in Poddington, Bedfordshire, Eng- 
land, the original home of our Thomas Sayre from at least the thirteenth cen- 
tury. He is a descendant of at least three generations of William Sayers, of 
Hynwich, a name and place with which the present genealogy begins. 

Among other emigrants of the name from England during the seventeenth 
century we have found the following, — most of the items in the first section 
being taken from the volumes of the New England Historical and Genealogical 
Register : 

EMIGRANTS TO NEW ENGLAND. 

Widow Jane Sayer received in 1640 a home lot in Providence, R. I., and

were baptized in Montreal by the French, December 8, 1693. The elder child 
became a "sister des Anges," Congregation of Notre Dame, Montreal, and died 
there March 28, 17 17. There is a gravestone at Wells in memory of Sarah, relict 
of William Sayer, who died January, 1734, in her eighty-fifth year. 

August 10, 1703, Joseph Sayer, his wife and several children were killed by the 
Indians at Wells, and another was taken captive to Canada. 

A letter from Quebec, written by Ebenezer Hill to friends in Wells, under date 
March, 170^, mentions : " Mary Sayer, brother Joseph's daughter, . . . and our

Major Francis Sayer, 610 acres in Lower Norfolk County, of which 550 acres 
lying between the south and east branches of Elizabeth River, derived as follows : 
150 acres formerly granted to William Ranshaw, September 24, 1636, and by him 
sold to Thomas Sayre, deceased, and 'by him given to his son Trustram Sayer 
by will, and after his death recovered by the said Francis Sayer by order of As- 
sembly, and 300 acres granted to Thomas Nellres, May 17, 1637, and by him 
sold to the said Francis Sayer, and the remainder of said land is now first 
granted, October 21, 1684. 

Major Francis Sayer, 1000 acres in Lower Norfolk County, October 20, 1684. 

Major Francis Sayer, of the County of Norfolk, 147 acres in Norfolk County,

Major Francis Sayer, subsequent to January 169^, and prior to 1699, married 
Frances Mason Newton, widow of George Newton, and daughter of Col. L. 
Mason, of Lower Norfolk. He died prior to March 15, 170^. There are refer- 
ences to him in the New England Genealogical Register for 1893, pages 70 and 
202. 

The name Sayer in Norfolk County has usually been pronounced Sawyer, and 
the two following items undoubtedly refer to the person named above : 

Thomas Sawyer, 300 acres in the Upper County of New Norfolk, on the east 
branch of Elizabeth River, May 22, 1637. He was a " head right," or one of the 
persons in right of whose settlement in Virginia the land was granted. 

Thomas Sawyer, 250 acres in the Lower County of New Norfolk, about two 
miles from the lower branch of Elizabeth River, May 10, 1638. 

There were two families of Sayers in what is now Wythe County, formerly part 
of Augusta County, in the southwestern section of Virginia. The earliest Augusta 
County Sayers will we have found is that of Robert Sayers, " late from the prov- 
ince of Pennsylvania," dated June 26, 1746, and probated at a court held for 
Augusta County, August 20, 1746. It was witnessed by John Buchanan, William 
Adair, Francis McCoun and Thomas Beard. It named his wife Catharine — she 
was a Buchanan — his two sons, William and Alexander, and three minor 
daughters, Margaret, Anne, and Elizabeth. Alexander, the younger son, bought 
June 20, 1753, 536 acres on a branch of Reedy Creek, Augusta County, and was 
drowned, unmarried, in New River, Va. 

There is a deed to William Sayers — doubtless this son of Robert — on record 
in Augusta County, dated October 1, 1747, for 290 acres of land on the west side 
of the Blue Ridge, near Buffalo Creek. He married first a Miss Buchanan, per- 
haps daughter or sister of John Buchanan who was a witness to the will of 
Robert Sayers, and second Elizabeth Drake, and died about 1777. Another 
account states he married a widow, Esther Thompson Crockett, daughter of Rev. 
John Thompson, of the Presbyterian Church. The tradition among some of his 
descendants is that he was born in Scotland. He left two sons, Col. Robert 
Sayers of the Revolution, who never married, and Major John Thompson Sayers, 



Errata and Addenda 705 

who was wounded at the battle of Cowpens. He married Susan Crockett and 
left many descendants. One of his daughters, Esther, married Abner Sayers, of 
the other Sayers family of Wythe County, and they were the grandparents of 
Hon. Joseph Draper Sayers, ex-Governor of Texas. 

There is another will on record in Augusta County, Va., of a Robert 
Sayers, dated September 3, 1756, and probated in the following November. It 
refers to his brother David, of whom he had bought land for twenty-five pounds, 
" taking my father's word for ten pounds and there is yet due fifteen pounds." He 
bequeathed the land to his son Robert, who was to take care of his other son 
David, who was tion compos mentis. Both sons were yet minors. The relict of 
Robert Sayers was Hannah. 

The brother of Robert Sayers, senior, mentioned in the above will, was doubt- 
less David Sayers who married Mary, daughter of John Beattie. Beattie was 
born in Ireland, and on coming to America lived first in Maryland, and after- 
wards in Rockbridge and Washington counties, Va. His children were born in 
Maryland and in Virginia. David Sayers is variously stated to have gone to 
Virginia from South Carolina and from Maryland. There is a deed recorded in 
Augusta County, dated October 13, 1751, from William Sayers, "of the Province 
of South Carolina," and it appears probable that he was the father of David 
Sayers. The latter had twelve sons and four daughters. Among his sons was 
Abner Sayers, who married Esther Sayers, and was the grandfather of Hon. Joseph 
D. Sayers, as above stated. Quite a long list of descendants of these two Wythe 
County Sayers families is in possession of the author. 

June 2, 1739. Charles Sayer bought land in Princess Anne County, Va. 

October 31, 1764. Thomas Sayers bought 380 acres on Cedar Creek, Halifax 
County, Va. 

August 27, 1770. James Sayers bought 115 acres on Middle River, Augusta 
County, Va. 

1734. George Sayres signed a petition to the Pennsylvania Legislature, which 
stated that the petitioners were from Germany and desired naturalization. One 
of the replies sent in answer to the circular requesting information for this work 
was from a Sayer who stated his father was born in Germany.

INDEX. 



In preparing this index, it has been deemed expedient to include all the descendants of Thomas Sayre, of South- 
ampton, under the one name of Sayre, regardless uf the particular spelling adopted by some families. The few 
other Sayres mentioned will be found in the same list. 

Where numerous similar names appear of sons who became heads of families, the fathers' names are usually 
appended to facilitate the search. Sayre daughters, when married, have their husbands' names affixed. 

The names of Sayres and, occasionally, of other persons who married and had children, are usually on two dif- 
ferent pages ; the first where they appear in the account of their parents' families, and again as the head of a new 
family. The paging refers to this second mention, and the other will readily be found by reference to the number 
prefixed to the names, which are consecutive. For example: Stephen Sayre, on page 89, is numbered 117; this 
number will also be found on page 53, showing his father's line. 

The names to which an asterisk is appended are those found on the chart inset opposite page 498, showing the 
compiler's ancestry.
